<p>I’ve read that some of you on here who went to some costly summer programs asked some local business for a little help with the cost, and it worked! I’m thinking of trying the same (it doesn’t hurt), but how did you go about it? </p>
<p>What did you say to them, and please tell me some do’s and don’ts to this. I want all the advice I can get!</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! :D</p>
<p>Well, last summer me and three other students from my school were selected to go to Japan for two weeks. We raised about $1,000 just from asking a few businesses. We just told them that why we wanting to go there and asked if they could help us pay for it.</p>
<p>Wow $1000? That’s great that you managed to raise that! Thanks for the help. Just wanted to see what key points I needed to say so that I don’t miss anything. Anyone else who has done this?</p>
