Our story

A FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS ROOTED IN ELBURN, IL

Rite Bite Fundraising is a family-owned business based in Elburn, IL, just outside Chicago. Our roots run deep with the Butter Braid brand. When we started Rite Bite Fundraising in 2000, we were carrying on something our family helped create. Our Uncle Ken and Aunt Marlene Banwart started the Butter Braid brand in 1991 and we're honored to continue their legacy.

Today we serve schools, sports teams, bands, choirs, dance studios, daycares, churches, and cheerleading groups throughout Northern Illinois, Northeast Iowa, and Wisconsin to help them meet their fundraising goals. We look forward to partnering with you.
