Why we started .
C&C stands for Camden and Corben, our grandsons who bring the Chaos — and the two little guys who inspired us to rethink everything. We’re Rick and Jennifer Vahl. Married 32 years, we raised our daughter Cortney right here in Chautauqua County, and spent the last several years traveling the globe with LIV GOLF. This year alone, our work carried us to Riyadh, Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico, South Africa, Hong Kong, Korea, Spain, and Washington D.C. — three full laps around the planet, still living the dream. It’s been an incredible ride, and we wouldn’t trade it. But the more time we spent away, the more we realized what we were missing back home. Between events, we wanted something that kept our feet on the ground in Western New York — something that let us pour our energy into the community that shaped us. That’s how C&C’s Kettle Corn Chaos was born: a part-time business with a simple mission to give local causes a fundraising partner they can actually count on. Jennifer has always been the life of the party, the kind of person who walks into a room and leaves with ten new friends. She’ll bring that exact warmth and energy to every event, every bag, every conversation — because for us, this isn’t just about kettle corn. It’s about showing up, staying connected, and building something that matters right where it all started.
The honest reason fundraising works better with local fresh popcorn
Most fundraisers rely on stale candy bars or overpriced wrapping paper. We think a fresh bag of kettle corn does a lot more for your cause — and your crowd.
It won’t cost you a thing to get started.
We handle the popcorn, the bags, and the setup. Your group provides 2 volunteers for a 3-hour on-site fundraiser and keeps a generous share of every sale with zero inventory risk. Simple as that.
Bring a batch of fresh popcorn to your next event
Just let us know the date and the crowd size. We'll show up with the kettle, the corn, and the smiles.
