Well I sent letters to local PTAs, Dancing schools etc and followed up but to no avail.
My suggestion to you would be to do the school bazzar/holiday fairs and when you leave give the organizer of the event your catalog and flyer about fundraisers.
I like Bridal Shows better & doing holiday fairs.

Hi Andrea,Fundraising can be a great way to share your love for cooking and also raise money for a good cause. Here are a few ideas:1. Host a Pampered Chef party with a percentage of sales going towards the fundraiser. You can reach out to local schools, churches, and non-profit organizations to see if they would be interested in partnering with you.2. Offer cooking classes or workshops with a portion of the proceeds going towards the fundraiser. You can advertise these classes on social media or through flyers in your community.3. Contact local businesses and see if they would be willing to sponsor the fundraiser by donating a portion of their sales for a certain period of time.4. Organize a bake sale or a cooking competition with entry fees going towards the fundraiser. This can be a fun and interactive way to involve the community.5. Reach out to friends and family and ask them to host a Pampered Chef party with the proceeds going towards the fundraiser.I hope these ideas help. Good luck with your fundraising efforts!Best,
