Dear Potential State Sponsor or Advertiser,
It is with great pride we introduce you to one of our exceptional state delegates for our upcoming (insert state) United States Pageant, (insert delegate name)! She will compete for the opportunity to win life changing opportunities, experience tremendous personal growth, and support our pageant’s core values of inclusion, empowerment, volunteer service, and integrity. She will form lifelong relationships and learn to support other women because as women, together we are stronger.
The United States Pageant was founded on strong moral principles and works to promote and celebrate the accomplishments and individual character of each of our members. Our vision at RS Crown Productions as the producers of the pageant in four states is to revolutionize the pageant world through inclusion, a fresh, unique perspective, authenticity and integrity. We believe in strong mentors for our youth, empowerment for women, support for mothers raising the next generation, and a focus on personal development and giving back. In our system, girls and women form lifetime relationships and cultivate good will while developing a strong personal image, communication skills, and poise.
Our pageant takes girls and women through rigorous training in the art of the one-on-one interview, public speaking, how to conduct themselves in a distinguished, polished way. These life skills are essential to every woman in their academic lives, careers, and their community. Our delegates act as community representatives and lead by example. As a potential sponsor or advertiser, you are asked to participate financially in our program to recognize and support our outstanding participants. Your investment in our participants and programs today is an investment in tomorrow for these ladies. As a personal sponsor of one of our delegates, your business will appear in our state program book. This contribution is completely tax deductible as advertising expenses as we are a non-profit company. Our EIN# is 82-1367198.
Thank you for considering supporting our very worthy program and helping a young lady or woman achieve her goal of becoming a state title holder and advancing to our national competition. Please contact our office with further questions.
