Fabulous Foundation
The Fabulous Foundation, LLC a non-profit organization that celebrates individuals who have struggled for many years with obesity. Obesity, considered a national epidemic robs you of:
· Self-esteem
· Motivation
· Preservation
I am inviting you to be a sponsor.
Remember the “mean kids” in your school? Well, they grew up and can still be mean! As a national
motivational speaker, I have heard countless stories of how people faced an endless stream of being bullied, threatened, beaten up and treated like they were less than human. As adults they face
discrimination in the work place, and society deems obese people as worthless. The hopelessness,
guilt and shame of being obese felt by many is heart-breaking. I am asking you to be a sponsor of
the Flab to Fabulous Pageant to help bring light to those who feel they are in darkness.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion; the medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of
normal weight. During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United
States and rates still remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and approximately
17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese.
Fabulous Foundation is not just about the lights, and glamour of a pageant. It’s about real people
and the celebration of their life and commitment to staying healthy. The Foundation offers health
education, events and workshops as tools to promote health in our community.
Contestants will learn public speaking skills, proper posing for professional photos and videos
geared toward sponsor appearances, print and commercial ads. They will also learn from fitness
experts, make-up professionals, style and modeling coaches. Contestants will work with weight
management counselors to help put a plan in place for continued health and vitality, giving them
the support and tools they need for self-esteem. The Flab to Fabulous Pageant will have a positive
impact on our economy by supporting and encouraging thousands to get healthy and stay fit.
Everyone at the Fabulous Foundation appreciates your consideration of this request. Your sponsorship will help educate, motivate and celebrate the life of the Flab to Fabulous contestants. Your
business will be recognized throughout the Flab to Fabulous Pageant and marketing material based
on your level of sponsorship. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
My pleasure to serve,

The Flab to Fabulous Contest is for men and women, who have lost a minimum of 50 pounds. The competition is
designed to showcase the hard work and dedication it took for contestants to transform - from “Flab to Fabulous.”
This annual pageant not only gives individuals an avenue to celebrate their weight-loss success; the criterion associated with
each phase of the competition offers added tools for their weight-management journey.
There is neither a swimsuit nor a talent competition in the Flab to Fabulous contest because when we lose weight we
become more confident; however, many times with a great amount of weight loss our physical appearance may be less
appealing because of extra skin. If we entered a pageant or beauty contest and were ask to parade around in a bikini it
would wreak havoc on our self-esteem. With the Flab to Fabulous Contest there are no embarrassing moments.
There are two age categories: 21 to 39 and 40 up. The Fabulous Foundation will award nearly a quarter million dollars in
cash and prizes to the winners along with more than $50,000 in continuing education scholarships.
Contestants have the opportunity to improve their health, cultivate their public speaking skills, and enhance their personal
appearance. Contestants are NOT judged on body size. The competition is about their journey toward a healthier life.
Judging is based on a written essay, a series of audio and video essays, photography, personal interviews, runway presence,
and evening wear.
As a sponsor for the Flab to Fabulous Pageant you show the world that you are dedicated to weight loss, fitness and a
healthy lifestyle.
Fabulous Foundation Provides Scholarships
We are awarding continuing-education scholarships to allied-health professionals who are in the weight management industry. These professionals do not have to be contestants or be connected with the Fabulous Foundation or Pageant in any
manner.
