“The parent handbook never mentioned that someday we would be professional fundraisers! Recently, my children’s school needed to raise some money. Raising Money for Mighty Missions book gave us the knowledge and insight to create a powerful fundraising campaign in a short period of time. We successfully used a few tools and methods in the book to hone our novice skills and create a powerful message to support our mission raising a record $90,000!
