Sweetie would be sent to Doral every year, years ago, because the company he has always worked for was one of the sponsors. That is how it works. For as long as I can remember. They would pass out goodies and shake hands with visitors to the corporate booths.

The corporations get advertising for their sponsorship. Just business.

I have great good feelings for that big corporation that sent checks all those years and allowed us to have decent insurance. In return Sweetie gave THEM long hours and never turned off his phone during vacations.. (Still working for an affiliate, trying to protect everyone's retirement money)
