Fundraising Tip
Channel Your Inner Master Chef
A nod to cooking reality TV,
try rounding up supporters and foodies around a friendly culinary competition.

Contestants create their best dishes with a specific ingredient,
or other criteria, and people pay to taste and cast their votes.

This works well for celebrations around July 4th.

- Rib Fest
- Cupcake bake off
- Apple Pie
- Baked Beans
Employer Match

A great way to meet your fundraising goal is through employer matching grants. 
Many employers are happy to match or double match a donation. 
Check with your employer or anyone who has already donated to your efforts.

Jack's Fund is a 501c3 charity #20-1363653 

We Have Bibs!
