Fundraisers Moving Forward

Hey Everyone…. well it’s happened. I’ve done a few successful fundraisers which I love to do and find great rewards in. I now find my inbox flooded with requests to do a fundraiser.

I’ve gotten a few requests to raise for large organizations such as St. Judes, Shriners  Hospital, etc. Those charities are HUGE. Not that we can’t make a difference I feel that what we raise is a HUGE impact to small charities vs a penny to big Charities. Don’t get me wrong, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital is a fantastic charity where 82% of every dollar goes to benefit. They are SO big they had $7.6BILLION in reserves when other small local charities were struggling to raise any funds.

Here is what I’ve decided to do for Chasing Bourbon; We’ll do fundraisers for 2 charities and alternate- Saving Paws and Saving Veterans. Two causes everyone can see value in.

Ideally, we’ll do 2 a year; just understand that the “grand prize” for these has to come from somewhere and that may spread out the timing. I’m looking at alternative ways to fundraise with rare &/or hard-to-get picks where the “over” SRP would go to the charity….there are some logistical hurdles to those initiatives

Here is to a great 2023 and raising money with Bourbon for great causes
