professional lives such as job applications. Public speaking is an ability that is always useful as they learn to answer
impromptu questions with knowledge.
** They learn how to make dedicate their lives to accomplishing goals they have set and how to achieve them.

encouraging each other, and sometimes become the best of friends and provide one another with a shoulder to lean on.

How to get sponsorship for the Pageant fee and other items
Make a list of all the people you know or businesses that you frequently visit in order to approach them for sponsorships.
Make a list of services or products you might need for the pageant, for example; a dress, suit, shoes, jewelry, hair
cut/styling, or Pageant entry fee. Out of your list of prospects, think of which individuals or businesses can provide you
with these items.
Establish a budget. If you still need money to cover additional pageant expenses aside from the products and services you
will receive from your prospective sponsors, you can ask for monetary donations from other sponsors who are still on your
prospect list.
Approach your prospective sponsors in person or in writing by introducing yourself and your involvement with the
pageant. Be prepared to discuss what kind of sponsorship you would like from them.
Sponsorship Tips: Seek sponsors in advance. All people and businesses need time to plan their budgets.
Approaching sponsors in person is more likely to produce better results, than approaching them through a phone call or in
writing. Be persistent. For every "No" you receive, a "Yes" is around the corner!
