      Introduction

      100% Profit and a Win-Win for Everyone

      You can raise thousands of dollars for your organization, and it’s possible to do it without costing you one single dime.

      The statement above is absolutely true. I can’t guarantee that putting on this fundraiser will cost you absolutely nothing, but it’s certainly possible. I know this because I ran this fundraiser in the late winter of 2013. My group made $4,500 and it cost me just under $150 to put it on. Next year, we plan on making closer to $6,000 and having it cost us absolutely nothing. You could possibly make more than that.

      But the real reason that this is The Best Fundraiser in America is that in addition to a tremendous profit margin, this event has the added benefit of creating a win-win-win for your community. Not only will your organization win (by generating a great deal of money), but it is a win for the citizens of your community, and also for the local businesses in your area. Win-Win-Win.

      Have you ever done a fundraiser and had members of your community come up and thank you for doing it?

      Let me show you how you can.

      What this book will offer you.

      You will learn about an event fundraiser that will make you thousands of dollars at little to no cost to your organization.

      You will learn about an event that will support your organization, bring your community together, and promote local businesses, too.

      You will be able to decide early in the book if this type of fundraiser will work in your community, and I’m betting that it will!

      You will learn exactly what conditions work best in order to run this event successfully.

      You will learn the ten step-by-step procedures to plan, organize, set up, and run this unique event in your community.

      Part One: What is this Unique Fundraising Idea, and will it Work for Me?

      In this part of the book, we will take a look to see just exactly what this fundraiser is, and why it will work for you.

      What Type of Fundraiser is this?

      Ok, I’ve been teasing you long enough. Just what is this fundraising event that can make you a lot of money and bring added benefits to your community?

      It’s a community cook-off. We invited local restaurants, along with a few civic organizations, school groups, and local businesses, to compete in a cook-off event that was held in our local school gymnasium.

      Here is why this event works so well. Usually, for a fundraiser, you need some sort of product to sell, and more often than not this product has an initial up-front cost to you. Not for this fundraiser. The product that you will use will be provided for you by the businesses and organizations that enter your event.
