Get a Clue AZ:
Where Mystery Meets Mission!
Get a Clue AZ invites your business to partner with us in supporting The Friends of the Pima County Public Library—a nonprofit that provides critical funding and advocacy for our public libraries. Through creative, interactive fundraising events designed to engage and inspire, Get a Clue AZ helps raise essential dollars to sustain and expand library programs that benefit tens of thousands of local residents. Founded in 2019, Get a Clue AZ specializes in creating immersive fundraising experiences that help nonprofits reach new audiences and exceed fundraising goals. Each event takes nearly a year to produce, blending storytelling, entertainment, and purpose to leave a lasting impact on the community—and donors.

About us:
Jeanette Cowles (formally Davis) created the whodunnit fundraiser event in 2019 out of a need to raise funding for local nonprofit Canyon Del Oro Project Graduation (as a volunteer), whose donations had steadily declined. With a passion for community support and creative fundraising, her five whodunnit events raised over $20,000 to help provide a safe, drug and alcohol-free celebration for graduating seniors.
After retiring from volunteering for Project Graduation, her fundraiser has found a new home with Friends of the Pima County Public Library. She is excited to continue this unique and immersive fundraising experience to raise vital funds and awareness for The Friends of the Pima County Public Library who celebrate and promote a literate community by supporting and funding enhanced library programs and services provided by the Pima County Public Library system.
Each event takes a full year to develop and execute, from crafting an original mystery storyline and designing interactive elements to coordinating logistics, securing sponsorships, and promoting the event. This meticulous planning ensures a one-of-a-kind experience that maximizes engagement, fundraising success, and community impact. Giving it's guests a one-of-a-kind experience like no other.
