Best way to get sponsors?

-hey, so im a pageant queen. Competing at nationals in fl. Need sponsors. How do i get them without ppl looking at me like "ew pageant girl" thank youNo one will. Write a letter requesting sponsorship, include a photo of yourself, and send it to local businesses and professional organizations. Include in the letter what the pageant is about, your platform if you have one, how the money would be used and why exactly you need sponsors.
