Please Help

Hey BarCamp Friends,

    I just took a look in the BarCampOrlando Paypal account, and so far we have raised $3,446 out of the needed $6000.  We've come a long way thanks to the efforts of our Sponsor man David Rogers, but not quite enough.  Don't worry worry though, it's enough to run the event, but we won't be able to make T-Shirts.  Free T-shirts are a tradition at BarCamp, so I'm turning to you guys to help us raise the needed funds by the end of the week.

    If you care about supporting BarCamp in Orlando, I'd like you to consider doing one or all of the following:

1. Try to get your company to sponsor the event.  All the information you need is here: http://www.BarCampOrlando.org/sponsor

2. Send out two emails to people who you think might be interested in sponsoring.  At the bottom of this email I created a template you can very quickly copy and paste to people who you think should sponsor the event.

3. Tweet that BarCampOrlando is looking for last minute sponsors.

    Thanks again guys, and here is that URL again: http://www.BarCampOrlando.org/sponsor

    I'll have more details later this week on some awesome events leading up to April 18th.

Dear ___,

   I'm writing to you because I know you care about growing the Technology community in Orlando.  I'm attending Orlando's next BarCamp event (on April 18th), and they are looking for a few last minute sponsors for the event. 

   In case you're not familiar with what BarCamp is, you can watch this video which is an Introduction:

   or this video, which shows footage from Orlando's first BarCamp:

   Sponsorship is only $300, and you'll get your company name on the website and the T-shirt produced for the event.  More importantly, it will show that your company cares about supporting Orlando Tech community.   To sponsor, all you have to do is go to the following URL before , and purchase a Premium Ticket to the event before April 3rd:
