Our Story

Jim & NonaRae began the business and ministry of Totally Catholic Fundraising in 2005 after Jim retired from 16 years of full time parish youth ministry.  Being a veteran youth minister, Jim knew there was really a need for a fundraiser that would be easy, risk-free, and TOTALLY CATHOLIC!  Let's face it, most youth ministers are so busy with ministry that fundraising is just a headache and an extra "have-to-do", though necessary for most youth groups. Jim & NonaRae decided to jump into the fundraising business and the rest is history! 

It has been an amazing journey! Jim and NonaRae have shared 49 years of marriage, have 4 grown children, 12 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren!  It has been a wild ride and they have loved, prayed, played, and lived through it.  They praise God for being the center of their marriage and the foundation which all glory is given.

Kevin & Nicole took over the majority of running TCF in 2010. They have been married 20 years and are blessed with four children; Austin, Tyler, Makayla, and Christian.  Kevin oversees all things warehouse for Totally Catholic Fundraising.  We sometimes consider setting up a tent and ordering in pizza for him during the busy seasons when he "lives" in the warehouse.  Kevin also serves in the Army National Guard.  He loves to coach his kids' sports teams and spend as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of God's creation in the outdoors. 

Nicole runs the ship here at Totally Catholic Fundraising.  She oversees the business, helps anywhere from setting fundraisers to accounting, and loves to share in her love for the Church and the youth with youth ministers across the country.  Nicole worked 6 years in full time parish youth ministry, and served as a volunteer in ministry for 10 years prior, before coming on board at Totally Catholic Fundraising.  She loves having a job where day in and day out there is a feeling of glorifying God by supporting the ministry of those who do His work.  Nicole loves watching football (Go Pack Go), and keeping up with her children in their sports and activities, taking time away to enjoy the beauty God has given us and relaxing in the mountains.
