My Event Planning Journey: How Passion Led Me to Sponsorship
Guided by Passion: My Journey to Securing Sponsors for Events
This photo was taken in 2001 at the 'Teen Fashion & Talent Show,' an event that attracted many sponsors. Looking back, I realize that my belief in the purpose of the event and my unwavering passion were the driving forces for planning events, even before I fully grasped the concept of sponsorship. Though I didn’t have a mentor or a clear roadmap, my conviction in the value of my events kept me going. It wasn’t just about asking for money—it was about offering something valuable to brands that resonated with my audience. My journey was shaped by persistence, trial and error, and a deep sense that I was being guided by something bigger than myself. There were setbacks along the way, but I kept moving forward, fueled by a vision I couldn’t ignore.

Focusing on What Matters: Helping Event Planners Make a Social Impact
After learning how to secure sponsors, I wanted to help event organizers get funding for their events. So, I decided to put my knowledge into the book How to Secure Sponsors Successfully. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the impact of the book remains strong. From providing information to the younger generations and seasoned professionals organizing fashion shows that showcase rich cultures, I found biggest reward in teaching those who create social impact. I look forward to connecting with you in my workshop or during a one-on-one consultation!
Success Stories: The Impact of Teaching Sponsorship
Empowering Event Planners to Achieve Lasting Success
The most rewarding part of teaching how to secure sponsors is hearing about the successes of those I’ve helped. For example:
- One person shared how they used the free information I posted on my Facebook business page to secure three sponsors for their event.
- A young woman excitedly told me she secured not only a national brand as a sponsor but also changed up her language and got her millionaire friend to sponsor her event.
- I’ll never forget the young boy who attended one of my sessions with his mother and told me afterward that he was going to get sponsors for his school trip.
These stories remind me why I’m so passionate about teaching others how to secure sponsors.
