Spin To Win Taste-A-Thon

An Innovative IN-KIND Donation Opportunity for Organic/Natural Food and Product Manufacturers

Taste Marketing's Spin To Win Taste-A-Thon is a unique consumer direct marketing approach that offers an interactive experience for participants. By spinning a game wheel, individuals have the chance to win up to three or four retail items each time, providing them with a "Try Before You Buy" moment and allowing vendors to showcase new products, offer coupons, or share literature.

This initiative exclusively features organic/natural manufactured food products and serves as a fundraiser for the Ravinia Farmers Market in Highland Park every Wednesday from June 5th to October 30th.
