<p>I started this discussion in December 2008. I think the challenges we face and the questions are still relevant. How are you collaborating with peers in your city or state to make more resources available to you and others in the sector?</p>

If you haven't seen the fundraising tournament we started at Cabrini Connections - called <a href="http://cabriniconnections.net/cabrini-madness/" target="_blank">Cabrini Madness</a> - I encourage you to take a look at it. More than 100 students, volunteers, staff, board members, and friends have joined teams to compete to raise the most money.

I think this can be a great model for other volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs. It creates camaraderie and competitiveness and it gets people working together in ways they never imagined.

Has anyone ever organized a booth at one or more of Chicago's more prominent Farmers Markets?<br />
What is sold at the booth would go directly to CC and the T/MC and could be themed to fit the season using reasonable cheap goods to raise funds and community awareness...hot chocolate, coffee, latte and warmed baked goods in Winter; Homemade lemonade and frozen/fresh berry lemonades or smoothies in the summer.<br />
I'm not certain if Farmer's Markets are year round here in Chicago, I was spoiled in LA.<br />

I'm not certain if Farmer's Markets are year round here in Chicago, I was spoiled in LA.<br />
I thought of this when attending last month's Flea Market...there was a booth selling homemade lemonade...2-3 dollars a glass depending on size. Their cost per glass less than 25 cents.<br />
<br />
We'd be mingling with people directly engaging with their community and sending the message that they support local farmers and vendors - the same people that are likely to volunteer or donate to CC and the T/MC program. Perhaps because CC is a non-profit the FM will cut a deal on space or donate space.
