For gawds sake get a photo up of yourself (preferably in as few clothes as possible) before Missy gets here and joins the party
As Cook$ said, a pretty face helps, in fact if you're all a good looking bunch it helps, it maybe well worth while getting a team photo done (no kit etc.) to send out to potential sponsors. Its not a question of what they can do for you but what you can do for them, a bunch of well presented individuals will go down better than knuckle dragging Neanderthals.
Have you thought of approaching local rental sites and offering your services as marshals, you may get some training paint or other support in return for this.
Most importantly, you have cleared the first hurdle by actually managing to spell the word sponsorship properly!
