my daughter looking for sponsorship

joker · 02-04-2009, 04:21 PM

ok, she doesn't really ride, at least not yet.

my 16 year old daughter will be participating in the nationals' 2009 miss teen los angeles pegeant competition. the pageant only requires that she get sponsors, which helps to pay for her training, rehearsals, and other financial support for her during the pageant.

if she wins, she will go on to compete in the cities of america national competition in florida. she stands to win a substantial scholarship fund should she win here.

anyway, if any of you - individually or through a business - would like to sponsor her, you can contact her pageant coordinator directly. her name is patty neidert, her # 800-569-2487.

i'm not exactly sure how this all works - if there is a minimum amount or what - but if you do decide to sponsor her, please pm me so i can keep track and then she can properly thank you.

here's a recent pic of her.

yeah i would be happy to sponsor her...

even if its just to have something to hold over the old man,,

thanks. looking the way she does makes it difficult to be a proper dad as well

and good idea, i'll look into setting up a paypal for this.

joker · 02-05-2009, 09:51 AM

ok, if i did this right, the paypal address is hdridersusa@gmail.com.

and thanks in advance to everyone. i found out that all sponsors will get a listing in the material that the pageant promotes, so i guess its kinda like marketing dollars if you use a business.

harleybodei · 02-05-2009, 10:01 AM

Joker, isn't there a way to directly link to PayPal? Why not ask DAX how he does it at the top of this page...

joker · 02-05-2009, 10:06 AM

i could do it on a site, but don't know about a thread.

i think the best i can do here is a link:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...ton_id=3029104

joker · 02-05-2009, 10:07 AM

or maybe this will work:

streetglideinblue · 02-05-2009, 10:49 AM

That works

joker · 02-06-2009, 02:23 PM

quick thanks to everyone who has sponsored her so far. you will be getting a personal note from her within the week.

much obliged!!!

harleybodei · 02-06-2009, 02:44 PM

Joker...when is the cut off for donations....

joker · 02-06-2009, 02:49 PM

not sure bodei, they never told us. the local pageant starts on the 22nd though.

harleybodei · 02-06-2009, 02:51 PM

Well every little bit helps so good luck brother.....

joker · 02-06-2009, 03:12 PM

thanks. she's pretty excited about it - and therefor i am too.

harleybodei · 02-06-2009, 03:22 PM

see, and all this time I thought you were just a selfish prick....

joker · 02-06-2009, 03:23 PM

hey, i ain't selfish ...

harleybodei · 02-06-2009, 03:24 PM

no doubt..........

1bcmc · 02-06-2009, 05:21 PM

Hey Joker, just tried to use the paypal link and it shows an error???any ideas

joker · 02-06-2009, 05:47 PM

paypal believes a 3rd party has accessed the account, so they've put it on limited access until they figure out what's going on.
nice - i can't even get the money out now ...

if you still want to sponsor her, you can use my wife's biz paypal account until they clear it up. just notate "kiana's pageant" in the notes. and thanks.

this button should be linked to the other paypal ...

or you can paypal direct to sj @ jokers-shop com.

1bcmc · 02-06-2009, 05:50 PM

Check the account Joker, I was able to access it and it took it...From one of your posted links..

1bcmc · 02-06-2009, 05:51 PM

I think the account just said pageant sponsorship

joker · 02-06-2009, 06:06 PM

yup, it came through ray. thanks!!
apparently money can come in but none can come out until they figure out whatever they're figuring out ...

1bcmc · 02-06-2009, 06:15 PM

Glad to hear it Joker, tell her good luck...Is the pageant in downtown LA?

joker · 02-06-2009, 09:58 PM

i believe its at the airport sheraton - but i'm not 100%.

1bcmc · 02-06-2009, 11:01 PM

Thanks, If it's downtown give me heads up. I'd like to meet ya and I work downtown during the week..

FYI: I hate to say this, but when PayPal "thinks" about anything, you just about lose your money. So since they "think" someone has hijacked your account, they will take up to 2-years to free it up. Be aware.
