You sell the best BBQ around, and we’ll do all the rest!
Our fundraising menu includes five of our favorites, conveniently packaged and hand-delivered with instructions for storage and reheating. You can choose to sell all five, or narrow your options down to include only the products you think will sell the best. Additional sauces, rubs, and seasonings are available by arrangement.
We stand beside you – rain or shine – we deliver!
What you’ll be selling
Boston Butts – Perfect for pulled pork sandwiches… Irresistible!
Smoked Picnic Ham – a delectable centerpiece.
Spare Ribs – with our special rub – rotisserie smoked.
Our Homemade Sausage – mild/hot/smoked/fresh links… Heaven on a plate!
Smoked Breakfast Bacon – 5 pounds, pre-sliced… Nothing better!
How much can you expect to earn?
Like anything worth doing, you get out of it what you put in. But we know you want to hear some numbers, so here’s what some of our participants have done in the past:
- A baseball dugout club earned $11,970
- A hospice organization earned $4,554
- A school boosters club earned $3,000
- And a high school marching band earned a whopping $20,000!
And that’s all profit, folks—the part our participants got to keep!
Set your goal HIGH and we’ll help you get there!
How it works
The process in five easy steps.
Step 1: Contact us to let us know you want to have a fundraiser.
Contact us with your interest in doing a fundraiser and we’ll help you figure it out! We’ll answer all your questions and create a Fundraising Agreement. At this time you’ll set the sales price so you know your profit margin right away!
We’ll have you complete our Fundraising Agreement, select your delivery date, and tell us where to deliver your goodies when the selling window closes.
You decide how much markup you want to tack on (that’s right, you get to set your own profit margin!) You’ll receive your fundraiser ticket booklets approximately 2 days later, and then you’re off to the races.
Step 2: Plan your cooking and delivery day.
We cook your orders on the day of delivery so you’ll get them fresh and hot. Once your orders are cooked to perfection, we’ll deliver them right to your door. For the most streamlined experience, we recommend setting up staffed tables (not included) and allowing your buyers a firm 2-hour pickup window near the end of the work day.
Step 3: You’ll get your tickets to sell –then you and your team SELL, SELL, SELL !
For the best results, allow yourself a 2-3 week selling window. That’s the sweet spot for maintaining engagement, keeping your organizers motivated, and providing a delivery date that buyers can see ahead to.
Step 4: Call in your orders. You can sell up until a few days before the event/pick up.
To make sure we have plenty of inventory on hand, we’ll ask you for preliminary sales about a week before your fundraiser ends. We’ll ask again a few days later, but rest assured, you can keep selling right up until the final day. Just keep us in the loop about any large last-minute orders so we can make sure to have the appropriate stock on hand.
Step 5: Add it all up, deduct cost and YOU KEEP THE BALANCE !
That’s it, folks. It’s that easy.
You set your own profit margin for your fundraiser!

Still have questions?
Don’t worry, we’ll support you through the entire process. If at any time you have a question, just call us and we’ll help you get the answer. Here are the questions we get asked the most.
How will my orders be delivered?
Orders of fewer than 200 items will be hand-delivered and set up on tables that you provide. Orders over 200 items will be palletized (but don’t worry, we’re still going to help you set up).
How do I submit my orders?
Please submit all orders to info@johnstonsmeatmarket.com. You’ll submit preliminary orders through email about 7 days before your fundraising period ends, and we’ll ask you for “final” numbers about three days later.
Are the meals fully cooked?
Yes, everything is fully cooked and ready to eat, except the sausages, which are hickory smoked and ready to cook.
How do I reheat and safely store the meats?
Your orders will arrive conveniently packaged with specific reheating and storage instructions. You can reheat our fully cooked meats right in the delivery tin. Sausages will stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months.
When do I pay Johnston’s for my orders?
There’s no need to worry about anything but selling tickets! You’ll settle your invoice on the day of delivery.
Who do I contact if I have a question or problem?
