Jean Joachim has lived and breathed fund-raising on behalf of P.S. 87 in New York City. She gives very believable stories about how this school community pulls together every year to raise thousands of dollars for the school. The events and strategies they use have been collected by the time of year so that Fall fundraisers are in one section and Spring ones in another. Not only are the ideas easily transferable to other schools, Joachim has given great tips about what works and what doesn't. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment that this school embodies should motivate anyone who is involved with a struggling school. Every PTA, every principal, and every classroom teacher should have and read a copy of this book. My role as a professional grant-writer and a classroom teacher's Grant Mapper touches on fund-raising every day. This book is a tremendous resource. I highly recommend it.
