In need of sponsors and donations for my national pageant!!!

I am looking for anyone, people, businesses, anything! willing to advertise in my national year book or sponsorships/donations to help me!!

Dear Potential Sponsor,
Hello, my name is Laurene Vouaux. I am a 16 year old girl from Santee and I need your help! I have recently won the state title of Miss California Teen Top model, an optional contest through the pageant system, National American Miss. I have been blessed with a great support system these past 2 years of pageants, and this year my hard work paid off! I am now headed to Nationals which is where the rest of the state's title holders and optional winners come to compete for over $500,000 in cash scholarships. As a finalist for nationals I am required to come up with my entry fees and advertising. The only thing standing in my way is the cost, I can’t make it by myself, which is why I am asking you for sponsorships or advertising. A full page of advertising is $750 dollars, which is equivalent to waving 1 entry fee for an optional contest, or you can just sponsor me the $175 to get me into the contest and get your name next to mine in the program book. If $175 is too much or you financially, that is ok! I take any amount you can sponsor me, every penny helps! I know by now you’re probably thinking you don’t know anything about me. Well, I am a member of the National Society of High School Scholars. Along with being a girl scout for since 2006, I am now working towards earning my gold award, the most prestigious award of girl scouting. I am also an Adventure Crew 45 member, where I am constantly participating in rodeo ground cleans ups with our brother boy scout troop 45. I have over 100 hours of community service between the rodeo ground clean ups and volunteering at the Santee Library, along with various local events like Finish Chelsea's Run and Riverwalk clean ups. Along with all these outside of school goodies, I also excel in school, I have a cumulative 3.875 G.P.A. as well as making honor roll the last 2 years. I am also on the JV basketball and Track and Field team at West Hills High School, and I have been since Freshman year. I also recently have been accepted into Grossmont Middle College High School, a prestigious program which only 40 kids a class get accepted into. I am very grateful for your consideration to sponsor me or advertise, thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Laurene Vouaux
