Hi,<br><br>Alex is correct in saying that there is more than one choice for fundraisers. I think the Flapjack Fundraiser is more formal - you get a group together for a breakfast event at a particular time, while the Dining to Donate is more like what Rob said - giving out the coupons and people can eat there at any time during a given day. If the case where you may have to give out the coupons, I don't see any problem with giving them to friends/others beforehand, and not necessarily at the restaurant itself. <br>

Hi Rob, you would be selecting the type of fund raising event, from<br>
the email, there appears to be more than one.<br>
