<h3>How do I find companies to sponsor an event to welcome home Soldiers from Afghanistan?</h3>

We have 3000 Illinois Guardsmen and women returning home from Afghanistan, there will be a college and job fair for them and then an event with celebrities to welcome them home, would love ideas on how and who to contact for sponsorships.
