019: Moms and Baseball Fundraising Ideas

Tons of fundraising ideas in this episode--the good and the bad! Today we welcomed Shannon Robinson who was the Team Manager/Administrator for the new Prairie Ironmen Travel Baseball Organization and Tournament Scheduler for the South Bend Cubs Organization, and was a very successful fundraiser manager.

We use the term "profitable" in this episode several times when we should actually say "lucrative." Our apologies as several of these fundraisers were mentioned as not being profitable when actually they could have had a 100% profit since no money was invested--but we did not make much money; therefore, the fundraiser was not very lucrative.
