$100,000 isn't pocket change; you're only getting that kind of money from a major corporation. But you have to realize that these big players handle their budgeting through strict annual planning. These sponsorships are mapped out once a year; you can't just walk up and demand them whenever you feel like it. Major corporations are organized, not chaotic.
