The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds.

Join us today as we break down the essential elements of each type of golf event.

Discover how vastly different these two types of events are, and how they actually fall on opposite sides of the development spectrum. Understand the importance of choosing the right event for your organization's needs. And learn how each event impacts your fundraising goals and donor relationships in a unique way. So whether or not you're a seasoned golfer, we're sure you'll learn something from this episode.
