The pair are developing a reliaty series that will follow an event planner, chef, decorator and mixologist as they organize gala fundraising events at high-profile locations ranging from Graice Mansion to an airborne jet. The show will feature on charity each week, with the goal of raising $1 million for it.
More than 150 organizations, from Unicef to God's Love We Deliver, are vying to take part in the series, America's Greatest Challenge: The Dream Team.
Mr. Talbot, an entrepreneur who founded Charity Group to help nonprofits, says he has already secured millions in commitments for ads and product placements from food and beverage companies. He says that several networks are interested in the series, which he hopes will debut next spring.
"It's frustrating to organize a fundraising party and find people have donor fatigue," Mr. Talbot says. "This show will raise awareness and money for charities."
