How in the world are you going to raise money to pay for a pageant? Just like sports or hobbies, it takes money to participate in pageants. Depending on the type and level of pageant you're in, you'll need hundreds to several thousands of dollars. Finding sponsors and raising money for your pageant expenses is a task that will involve creativity, marketing skills, and most importantly, people.

Outdoor theatrical performances that don't have a specific paying audience. Street theatre can take place almost anywhere, from a park to a parking lot, to a street corner. Performers range from buskers to organized theatre companies who are perhaps experimenting with outdoor space or raising money for a cause or maybe even doing some guerrilla theatre.

I never judge. It's not nice. Who am I to judge, really? But - if I may now judge - have you ever read those news stories about people who raise money online for really dubious causes? I'm not talking about raising money for, say, a charity, or to put a new Dewey Decimal system in a public library (very worthy).
