Out of curiosity, CJ wanders into a local community meeting. When he offers his opinions on two or three matters raised, he is landed with a major challenge. Something that will rule his life for the next few years, and change him forever.

Determined to succeed, he finds himself heading into the unknown. Will he succeed with what he has undertaken, or find himself facing disappointment and defeat? The experiences that follow give CJ much to think about, and many things to learn.

Particularly how the good, the bad and the stupid will affect any venture, and how working with others for a declared aim highlights the endless diversity of human behaviour and personality.

The Fundraiser is a true story of real life, real people and real emotions. We learn alongside CJ how little things can get out of control, and that interaction within a defined community depends very much on how we relate with different personalities.

Last but not least, it is a tale that has taught some valuable lessons to many, and to CJ in particular.
