First Phone Call

I said that I would call Wal-Mart to check about possible sponsorship and/or donations for our event. I did so because one of my family friends (he isn't technically family, but he is as close as one can be without being blood-related) works at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. All throughout high school the area Wal-Mart would match what my student organizations raised for certain fund-raisers. So, I wanted to check and see if they would do it again or even what the possibilities were for that. I called him tonight to talk to him about it. After explaining the basic outline of what we were wanting to do, I asked him what he thought. He is not in the department who makes those kind of decisions, which I knew before I called him, but he said that it sounded like a good thing. He has a friend who works in that department, and he said that he would talk to him to see what he thought the initial chances of sponsorship would be. I told him that I would get back to him when I knew more.
