Lowell Moore's What A Fan hits Orlando this week

ORLANDO, Fla. - Aug. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- The What A Fan Awards show for 2015 Starts September 3. It celebrates the Sports SUPERFAN.

You all know who these people are, or at least some of them. They paint their faces, wear costumes, have comic books, drive crazy themed RVs and cars that would make George Barris green with envy. These are the Superfans of the world.

The show was set to air September 11, 2001. Our country was changed forever. Being a man of class and integrity, not to mention an overwhelming heart, Mr. Moore put his dream on hold out of respect for our grieving country. A bold move considering he put everything into this show. Moore left his posh home in Beverly Hills and moved to The City Beautiful, Orlando and brought his dream and show with him.

It was not until 2013 that he got his dream on stage and the Sports Fan Conference had now also become a reality.

The show had live music and celebrity presenters. After the show the fans got a wild surprise as the stage filled with athletes including NFL Hall of Famers there just to watch. There was a celebrity bowling event and a party at Buffalo Wild Wings to close things off.

Retailers love these guys because they spend tons on merchandise and memorabilia to fill their man caves and spread their passion, yet many retailers have yet to provide discounts for the bulk purchasing made by these people. Hotels do not provide discounts to these fans that follow their teams. There are few rewards on Credit Cards for fans for, well frequent fan miles. Same with airlines and nearly every other business fueled by these fans.

Moore is doing something about that as well with the first of it's kind What A Fan Club. The club offers...
⦁    Discounts on What A Fan merchandise (30%).

And the list continues to grow.

Moore's love for these fans is more than just an admiration for their love of sports. Moore being a fan himself obviously can relate to the fans, but it was more what they do when the game is over. These fans are more than costumes and painted faces. Just like the stars on the field, there is a person in there.

Many of these fans, I'd even say most, have groups and clubs they identify with. They hold events for major charities and some host their own charities. These folks raise millions upon millions for charities. Some in the Hundreds of Millions. They volunteer at children's hospitals and work with Wounded Warriors. These costumed fanatics have some of the biggest hearts of anyone you may ever meet.

Being inspired by the fans and an amazing Mother, Martha, Moore created the What A Fan Charities. Last year a Mercedes was given away in an attempt to raise money for Fans Against Child abuse as well as trying to help raise money for the medical expenses of a Martial Arts Master, Senior Grandmaster and Kenpo Karate Legend Frank Trejo. These are two stories I will have to do a follow up on as both are important subjects on their own.

This year the Sports Fan Conference begins September 3rd 2015 and is being held at the Rosen on I Drive. You can get more details at http://www.whatafan.com/ or https://bookings.ihotelier.com/Rosen-Centre/bookings.jsp?... . Next year it makes it's big move to LA as demand increases. This may be your last chance to catch it in Orlando.

The event has been virtually invisible in the media. Ignored by nearly every outlet Moore has put Bob Fitzgerald of Ormond Beach Florida in charge of Digital Marketing. Fitzgerald is a Black Belt of Grandmaster Frank Trejo who we mentioned before and has a background in SEO and Digital Media. The What A Fan team continues to grow and the event goes on despite any actual media attention. It is a grassroots movement that has a real soul and heartbeat.

I look forward to writing more on this event and the people it honors rolling up to the event itself. If you can, show up at the event. It's not hard on your wallet and might be the best thing Orlando has to offer Labor Day Weekend. If you go, make sure to say hello to, The Fan Man, Lowell Moore himself.
