Testimonials
"Main Street Fundraising is far and away the best fundraising company that we have had the opportunity to work with. Barbara Jakob did a phenomenal job in facilitating, communicating and supporting us through the most successful fundraiser we have ever participated in. Barbara will give you her sincerest effort and do everything in her power to support you and your program in any way possible." George Peterson, Head Coach, Lexington HS Football
"As a head coach of close to twenty years now, I've tried just about every fundraiser there is, and on several occasions worked through a third party company. Unlike all the others, Main Street Fundraising brings an earnest, personal touch, helping locally owned businesses support local youth sports programs, helping those sports programs raise the funds they need to get through their seasons, and making it fun and rewarding for the student-athletes. Barbara Jakob is easy to work with and knows how to help your program meet its needs. You will not regret connecting with Main Street Fundraising." David Walsh, Head Coach, Lexington HS Lacrosse
"Bedford Boys lacrosse could not be happier with our experience fundraising through Main St. Barbara was professional, kind and understanding of our needs throughout the process. I would recommend Main St. Fundraising without reservation." Jeff LoPresti, Head Coach, Bedford HS Lacrosse
"We used Main St. Fundraising for our indoor track team this past winter. The process was incredibly simple, the owner very professional, and the results (aka $$) were fantastic. I recommend them very highly." Emmett O'Brien, Head Coach, Lexington HS Indoor Track
