Wow! That is awesome work. It makes me wonder if local
conferences/seminars might also serve as a fund raising vehicle...

Landon,

It is currently an objective that the conference should make a modest
profit for the foundation (I think we targetted 5% of gross revenue as
profit).  But the Victoria conference, due to great management,
sponsorship
and attendance made $100K.

Best regards,
