DRUG FREE SPORTS... BE NATURAL!!

Drug Free Sports Association proudly supports the
I AM BODY PROUD Athlete FundToday's youth are constantly bombarded with news stories related to athletes testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. It can be hard for individuals striving to better themselves to make the right decisions when they see those that they look up to turning to drugs to achieve their goals. DFSA believes that as part of spreading the word about being Body Proud, it's important to promote and educate the benefits of living and training naturally.
The Drug Free Sports Association ( DFSA ) is a not-for-profit organization created to fund year round drug testing and to enhance and expand education about the dangers and downfalls of performance enhancing drugs.

Education and testing are key elements to achieving our goal of eliminating illegal drugs from sports competition. Funds donated to the DFSA will increase the number of competitors tested during competitions and at random times throughout the year. Donated funds will also allow Natural FAME Athletes and Models, who are true role models for today's youth, to travel and speak to groups of all ages about living and training the Body Proud way.

Your donations to the DFSA will help fund the testing and changes that can truly make a difference in turning the tide against performance enhancing drugs, and will help educate and inspire the youth of today to say no to drugs and live a Body Proud lifestyle.

The I AM BODY PROUD Athlete Fund

The "Body Proud" concept was founded from the knowledge that improved self-esteem, better health, positive self-image, and self confidence all come from taking care of your body and mind. By dedicating yourself to learning healthy nutrition habits; thinking positively; setting goals; and respecting yourself, others, and the environment; you will ultimately receive the mental and physical benefits that come from being Body Proud.

The FAME World Tour series of physique events can be a great motivator for those on their way to becoming Body Proud, and for those who have been on their own Body Proud journey for years. By setting the goal of stepping on stage to show the world your accomplishments, you are creating a strong motivator for your own success. Setting the goal of stepping on the FAME stage can be the ultimate motivation and can take your dreams from just ideas in your head, to reality!

BodyProud.org realizes that many on the journey to becoming Body Proud are facing serious obstacles. Whether those obstacles involve illness, obesity, chemical dependance, depression, or other personal or family difficulties, all can seem like insurmountable obstacles to achieving the dream of being Body Proud. However, we know with help and support, all obstacles can be overcome, and anyone can reach their personal Body Proud goals.

We also know that there are many who have never been told that they can "BE" Body Proud. We are dedicated to spreading the word of the Body Proud Phenomenon to people of all ages in order to increase the awareness that being Body Proud is a state of mind and body that anyone can achieve.

The I AM Body Proud fund was created to help spread the concept of being Body Proud through education and seminars, special events, and appearances. Funds collected also go directly to helping those facing difficult challenges to achieve their goal of becoming Body Proud. Proceeds from the I AM Body Proud fund will go to events such as Body Proud seminars covering nutrition and exercise for children in school, to paying the entry or transportation costs for a worthy individual stepping on stage for the first time.

Please dedicate to this worthy cause and help us spread the word of the Body Proud phenomenon to an even greater audience world wide!

To help members of the Body Proud community reach their goals - and to promote the fact that ANYONE can become Body Proud. All you need is a vision (your most desired Body Proud physique) and added incentive to attain it.

Who:
All those who are Body Proud can apply for this fund. Remember being Body Proud starts once you decide to make positive lifestyle choices and to treat your body (the world's ultimate machine) with respect. So everyone, at anytime, can say "I AM BODY PROUD!"

The fund describes itself as an 'Athlete Fund' and this is because all those who are Body Proud have the opportunity to reach their Body Proud goals by setting a competition as a set date by which to showcase their Body Proud physique with pride!

By setting a contest as an end date by which to target your Body Proud goals encourages motivation to stick with your plan and continue to main focus throughout. It's a proven fact that setting a specific timeline will help ensure you maintain your dedication and stay on course. Plus what better way than being amongst your friends, role models and those who have been giving you advice along the way! Furthermore having the opportunity to showcase your physique transformation results on stage with fellow Body Proud community members is a prize by itself!
