I remember years ago attending a fundraiser type thing where…

Good evening Patty,

This type of fundraiser is great both for your organization as well as getting the word out for local restaurants future customers. I have attended a few over the years and it offers large crowds to spend to your fundraiser and helps with the restaurants getting their name out to the public in the area.

While not a specific name for such an event, something called a "Food Taste Fundraiser" would be something that is considered what you are thinking about.

Went ahead to research tips and suggestions to create such an event:

1, http://www.rewarding-fundraising-ideas.com/food-taste-fundraisers.html

2. Detailed point by point that can offer good ideas

3. Checklist to use for each restaurant vendor to follow

4. Cost should not be anything as this is a fundraiser for a worthy cause so sending a letter to restaurants asking for them to participate (examples below)
