Yuma's Recipe Box... "Cooking up a better community."
This event provides non-profit organizations the opportunity to sell a food, beverage or other item as a fundraiser. After paying your initial registration fee, all money raised belongs to your organization. We ask a non-profit to "partner" with a business or entity that supports Yuma's agriculture community and together create an item that includes at least 2 Yuma grown products. When selling the item, you will also be handing the consumer a recipe card (created by Heritage Festivals) that will list your ingredients, a "fact" about the products and information about the non-profit and the business partner. Consumers collect these cards at various booths, we add a "Recipe Box" cover and they take home their very own Yuma cookbook. Click here to download Registration Form.
