Event Idea . . . Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner Fundraiser! Food is always a good fundraiser, so try a fundraising breakfast, lunch or dinner event. Remember: KEEP IT SIMPLE! Example:		Thank You, Florida We thank Sonya Matson and the Florida Family Support Group for all their hard work and dedication. The group’s BBQ fundraiser in November was a finger-lickin’ success, raising almost $700. Great Job!
What:	A Hotdog event fundraiser is a great way to start.
How:	Have your local grocer donate the hotdogs, buns, condiments, chips and pop. You can use a propane BBQ or boiler for the cooking. Offer up a package deal like “1 Hotdog, bag of chips and a can of pop for only $3!” This way, you can raise more, faster.	Your Ad Here Want to start a support group or advertise an event?

Where:	Set up in a busy area, even the parking lot of your grocer.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to thank your grocer by giving them recognition for their food donation.
