Duffy's Relay for Life Team

“Bob Muhlhauser, the top individual fundraiser at Hoquiam, took in more than $29,500 by selling candy bars and pepperoni and teriyaki flavored beef sticks to customers at area taverns and bars.

“I was going out almost every night hitting the bars” for the past year, he said. “If there were people, I found them. I got a lot of people addicted to the pepperoni and teriyaki sticks.”

In all, Muhlhauser said he sold about 19,000 beef sticks at $2 apiece, plus about 8,000 candy bars at $1 each.

How sweet it is

The candy bars and beef sticks came from Wow! Fundraising, an Indiana-based company that sells 21 different fundraising kits.”

Guys like this give fundraising a bad name.

Fundraising is tough.

Convincing your supporters to donate their hard earned dollars to your cause is tough enough without criminals like this guy using a fake charity to swindle money from the community.

This guy’s punishment was (thankfully) more than a slap on the wrist. Let’s hope it sends the right message to any other con-artists lurking in the shadows.

“A man accused of running a sham coin-collecting charity in the name of helping animals was fined more than $330,000 and barred from fundraising in New Jersey under a court order released today.

Patrick G. Jemas, of Woodbridge, faced civil penalties after the state Division of Consumer affairs sued him and his Union Township-based organization, the National Animal Welfare Foundation Inc., for misleading how the money collected in countertop canister was used.”
