There is a move underfoot to raise funds to keep a pro women’s bodybuilding division at the Tampa Pro Show. The 2009 Tampa Pro was dropped from the schedule, taking the female bodybuilding show options down from five to four.
A quote from a forum post where you can click through to find more information:
As it stands, since sponsorship funds are low, there are now only currently 4 Female Bodybuilding IFBB Pro shows. 2 of those are invitational (the Ms Olympia in Vegas and the Ms International at the Arnold). Right now the only 2 open FBB shows are the New York Pro and the Atlantic City Pro. Tim Gardner, the promoter of the Tampa Pro, had to drop the women off the ticket this year, but he has guaranteed that women will be back for 2010 if $12k is raised by December. Thus far, individuals have given a total of $3150 and Species Nutrition has pledged $1000 directly to Tim through 813.908.7763 / tgflex@aol.com
