	Fundraising Example:
	Your fundraising group wants to raise money to pay for new playground equipment. Here are the facts:
	- You want to raise $10,000 for the new equipment.
	- You have 25 members ready to go to work for fundraising.
	- Each member in your group has 100 email addresses in their Contact list between home and work.
	- Each member believes he or she can sell 25 items each.
	Based on the above information here is how you raise the $10,000: - You choose which items you want to sell from our menu of 16 top sellers. Choose them all or just choose one. We will format the picture menu for your organization. Provide a logo and we will copy it to the information for you to print out and deliver to your customers or your members to go out and sell.
	- Bass Pecan will set up an ePecanFund code. For our example, let's say PLAYGROUND.
	- Bass Pecan will create an attractive email for your fundraising campaign. Bass Pecan will email the newly created email to the fundraising contact person. This person emails the 25 members dedicated to raise money. Each member emails to all people in their address book the special email created for your fundraising purpose. Instantly, 5,000 people are informed about your fundraiser without hardly lifting a finger. This email will easily link to the Bass Pecan site to place orders. With the ePecanFund code, all sales exclusive of shipping and tax, pays your organization 25%!!
	- Members go out and take orders, collect payment and remit all orders to Bass Pecan with payment.
	- Within the agreed-upon time, all of your patrons and customers will be satisfied.
