Ahhhh, fund raising is one thing but ***sponsorship*** is yet another... The real way to raise funds is not sellin' stuff but finding companies who want to get the good-will from promoting yer event... Unless, of copurse, your event is a "puppy burn"???

No, if your event is worthwhile and serves the community in a positive way then there are companies who would love to become sponsors as long as you put theie names on all your promtional printed stuff, advertisements and have a big banner at the event thanking them for their support...

Belive me, this works... Been there and done it... These companies are eager to give you money if your event is community oriented...
