If you show a company a fairly decent ammount of attendance and possible publicity, they will be more more likely to help out. It can't be 12-14 guys just snacking on the beach. It's a good idea, assuming you can get the following and the attention.

Yeah that's the only thing it's next year so not really sure how many people are going to show up but the good thing is we have the time to get the word out and to set things up now. My wife works next door to a news station so maybe I can poke my head in there and see if they would be willing to stop by pretty sure everyone would love that and it would look good for San Diego And the kayak community
