  • Longing for every new episode!

    As a long- time fundraiser, Clay and Lynne are a breathe of fresh air and bit of grounding. I am always screaming “EXACTLY” or “YESSSS” as I listen in my car. Fundraisers get lots of car time, so having their show to laugh and learn from makes the miles go by. If you’re a veteran fundraiser you will love them. If you’re new to fundraising you will love them. My only complaint is that the episodes are too short!
