24-02-19 Jamie: NOT ME CALLING THEM ON FAMILY DAY LMFAO NO WONDER THEYRE NOT PICKING UP RIP ONLY FOUND OUT AFTER CALLING 47 OF THEM AHAHAHAHAHAH


Script:
Hello, my name is Jamie and I am a sponsorship coordinator for the University of Waterloo’s Midnight Sun Solar Car Team.

I am calling to express interest in pursuing a potential partnership or sponsorship. Is there a specific person I can speak to regarding this?

  • I am calling to express interest in pursuing a potential partnership or sponsorship. Please call 226 926 2544 or email jamie.kang@uwmidsun.com if interested. Thank you!

If interested:

To provide you with some information about us, the Midnight Sun team has been designing and building solar cars for the past 33 years as well as being one of the largest student teams on the University of Waterloo campus.

We are currently manufacturing our next vehicle MSXV, and looking for machinists to help us manufacture a 5th rim for our car. We have the CAD and STEP files ready and we are willing to supply the material for it. Would you consider sponsoring by machining this part for us?

  • 19 x 19 x 4 aluminum block supplied

  • manufactured as soon as possible but by end of April is ideal

  • would you consider sponsoring us in other ways? we have a sponsorship package we can send out for you to look over.

If willing:

Thank you. We will contact again in the near future, could you let us know your primary email and who to address further correspondence for this matter?

Willing to look over sponsorship

Says it might be possible to machine it without 5-axis CNC? Willing to look over files to see if possible - however not willing to do it for free (said that at most, not making a profit on their end)

Sponsorship Request From UW Midnight Sun Solar Car Team

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well!

My name is Jamie and I am a member of the Midnight Sun Solar Car Team. I am reaching out today to discuss potential sponsorship opportunities between Midnight Sun and {{Company Name}} for the upcoming season.

We are one of the largest student design teams that designs, builds, and competes in competitions such as the American Solar Challenge and the Formula Sun Grand Prix. During our last racing season, we competed at the American Solar Challenge and became the first Canadian multi-occupant vehicle team to complete a 3000km solar car race across the United States.

We are striving to push the boundaries of student innovation. And we can’t do this without the support of others.

We are currently looking for machinists to help us manufacture a 5th rim for our car. We have the CAD and STEP files, as well as the drawing ready and we are able to supply material for it (19'' x 19'' x 4'' aluminum block). Would you be potentially interested in sponsoring or helping us out with this for our upcoming season?

If this is not possible, there are other ways to support us as well; the following link is for the 2023 sponsor package for your reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QJHAgyRls9BQN_H08_Xqzf_hsK9I-fWb/view?usp=sharing

Some benefits include access to a wide range of Waterloo Engineering students, social media exposure among our community, a chance to have your name on the car and more!

Please let us know if you have any questions or would like to chat more. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

 

Jamie Kang | Co-op Student
University of Waterloo Midnight Sun Solar Car Team
