How can I find people to sponsor me for a pageant I am participating in?

I will be participating in a pageant but we need to get people to sponsor us financially, to help with certain expenses like travelling expenses, wardrobe and others. How do I find, and go about asking people to sponsor me? Thanks|||Start by asking your family, anything that they can give. Whether its 5, 10, or 15 dollars it will help. Then go to your friends and ask them, they might be able to pitch in a few dollars, and if they can, great! Then you will want to start going to businesses and places of work. Just walk in and ask to speak to the manager (make sure you dress the part!), basically you're going to talk to him about what this pageant is, why you want to be in it, and how it will benefit you as a young woman. They will either tell you yes or no right there, but always make sure to tell them thank you.


Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have in the future!
