I will be walking the USA coast to coast. How can I get sponsors to help fund my trip?|145240

I have some money saved up(about $1700), but I know I will need some sponsorship. I plan on starting in Maine in July and head toward New York, then go southwest for winter before heading west for California. I am also thinking about charities to collect money for, too. I am 20 years old.

  • Find a charity, CF, MS, Komen B C R, or something else, and they resubmit this question with a link to the charities website where people (like me) can donate/contribute.

    That is how this type of endeavor works best.

    Good luck to you.

  • Heh! Maybe you could get Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurants to sponsor you in an advertising campaign (remember when Forrest Gump trekked cross-country in the movie?).

  • Definitely you will need more the 1700, I admire your drive though.

    When you talk to national sponsors such as the ones noted already, tell them you are willing to talk to media along the way and give them good press... that usually butters them up quite a bit.

  • WOW! You are one determined man, Glenn! I would suggest telling everyone in your community about the walk. They would be willing to donate, espicially if they knew you personally. Then, contact national sponsers, like Kohl_s, KMart, Circut City, et cetera. Tell them you will be wearing a shirt with their logo, and GOOD LUCK!
  • How much a house in staten island New York?|196713

    I wanna move to staten island, and i wanna know how much is a house there.

  • It all depends on how much you want to spend. There is a wide range of homes for sale in every area. I would check out the listings in the local paper. The Staten Island Advance would give you everything you need. They have an online listings.
  • How do i go barefoot to pick my sister up from harlan?|159364

    I was wanting to know how to go barefoot to pick my sister up without anyone knowing. She lives in Harlan,Ky and I live in Whitesburg, Ky it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get there _ I need some help to go _ get there barefoot. Can anyone help?

  • Why don_t you want anyone to know you_re barefoot? Some people don_t like it but it_s not illegal or gross to go barefoot, even in stores and even when you_re driving. Stand up for yourself and don_t care so much what other people will say or think, just go barefoot and who cares who sees you!

    If you really don_t want that, you could try barefoot sandals, they_re like a strap that covers the top of your foot and leaves the bottom bare. Most designs are girly but you can easily make your own from a strap of leather, all it is is really a figure-8 around your ankle and second toe, attach the two straps at the right place near the toe and you_re done.

  • Lelars is correct. You are an idiot.

  • nope can_t help you with your problem............

    You sound like an idiot.......................

  • yOUR SPIRIT OF CHOICE and YOUR pAXIL !

  • I don_t understand the problem. Just go barefoot. Many people go around barefoot all the time. Its more comfortable than wearing shoes, its relaxing and healthy and good for your feet to be without shoes. Dont worry what others might think. most of the people are ignorant of the laws regarding bare feet. It is not illegal to drive barefoot and no state has any health department regulations regarding footware in places. Just do it.
  • Where does a family with teens move to within 30 minutes of the Denver airport? We like smaller towns amp; hills?|159260

    My husband has gotten a job with the territory of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah so we will be moving to the area soon. We can pick where to live close to the Denver airport but know very little about the area. We have 2 young teens and a 3rd grader and we are moving from Tulsa, OK. We don_t want to be in Denver but more of a small town suburb. Any suggestions?

  • To be within 30 minutes of the Denver Airport you would need to live on the east side of Denver which is flat as a pancake and is a big city urban environment. Aurora is the primary suburb on that side of the metro area and is a high crime area to say the least. You might try Parker or Brighton as possible suburbs fitting some of what you are looking for.

  • Well there are small neighborhoods, part of the city out there, like greenwood village, but the airport is the only thing they are close too. They are far and almost isolated from the rest of the city. But they are only about 10 minutes from the airport which is what you wanted so check them out.

  • You would have better choices 45min. to an hour from the airport. Golden, Boulder, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock to name a few.
    I live in Castle Rock just south of Denver, Takes me 50 Min. to get to the airport.

  • Whats the best way to get into popular Vegas dance clubs?|172846

    I_m going to Vegas soon and want to check out some of the popular night clubs. Any suggestions on the best ways to avoid standing in line? Thank you!

  • Get VIP line passes...lots on ebay.

    If you are female, dress very skimpy and hot.

    If you are male....no can do.

  • Feel free to contact me - I have my own VIP list to the new club Pollyesthers at the Stratosphere.

  • #1 Get your hands on some VIP passess
    #2 Be in the company of a very hot female
    #3 A couple of C-notes to the doorman

  • You can get VIP passes from lots of places but the safest is Vegas.com

    VIP allows you front of the line access to clubs which can cut your wait time dramatically down.

    The next way is going to sound shallow but its true. If you are attractive and dressed to the nine lots of times bouncers will hand you free passes/VIP to the hottest clubs.
    I have witnessed ladies flirting with older gentleman in the front of the line and they were allowed to _cut in_.
  • What are some things to do from Nebraska to California along I-80 or Lincoln Highway?|171779

    My wife and I are making a road-trip from Omaha, NE to San Francisco the week after christmas. We want to spend the whole week just enjoying our trip and making it worth the trip. What are some things to do?

  • What are some price ranges on apartments in hawaii?|170357

    I am permanently moving to Honolulu for school, and I was thinking of a one bedroom apartment, but is there cheapers alternatives, and what is the pricing on one bedrooms?

  • You can get an efficiency for about $800. A contel/condtel (hotel room that has a kitchenette) for around $700, but your best bet is roommates. My neighbors are college students they live in a 3 bed room, 2 bath condo for $3200 monthly(guessing on their rent), which is a _luxury_ high-rise.

    Good Luck with the apartment and school hunt!

  • delusional people like john/leroy can be the token guy from the mainland working through our armed forces, living in hawaii.... you can point at/blame obama for someone like him.
    its gonna be expensive and the schools are NOT at all exceptional. for instance, look at the primary and middle schools, some of the worst education inthe country.

  • Things are pretty chaotic right now and you can bargain with your landlord. A friend of my just had his rent reduced by $200 per month (he_d told the landlord he was moving because he couldn_t afford the apartment any longer)

  • cheap apartments are like 900 or 800 a month..you_ll be luck if you find one that cost 700 a month, and that_s for 1 bedroom apartments. do yourself a favor, and just stay where you are right now,, because if you are worrying about money, you have no business being here in hawaii..only rich people like me can live here comfortably
  • Whats the cheapest way to move all the stuff in my house from Kansas to Cali?|169688

    I have alot. King size bedroom set, along with the dresser and vanity, dining room table, theatre seating, sleeper sofa, twin size bed, washer, dryer, desk, kitchen supplies and all my belongings. I have to bring my car also. I will be driving by myself.

  • The Cheapest way to move from Kanas to Cali, with the amount of stuff you listed above, a 16 foot rental truck and a car carrier.
    BUDGET
    U-HAUL
    PENSKE
    RENT-A-WREAK
    Check quotes.

  • Rent a u-haul or some such truck. You can even tow your car behind them. OR if you are able just get a little one you can tow behind your car. I think they can even get you the tow bar if your car isn_t capable.

    Good luck and wave to the ocean for me, I miss it!

  • with family help
