Answer 1

Correct answers:
- Blake organized the successful fundraiser, and he raised money for a local food bank.
- Blake organized the fundraiser, a successful event, to raise money for a local food bank.
- A successful event, Blake’s fundraiser raised money for a local food bank.

Why:
- The first simply conjoins the two original ideas.
- The third keeps that Blake organized a successful fundraiser and states its purpose/result (raising money for the food bank).
- The fifth indicates the fundraiser belonged to Blake, was successful, and raised money for the food bank.

The other two change the meaning:
- "In order to have a successful fundraiser, Blake needed money for a local food bank." implies money was required for success, not that Blake raised it.
- "Blake organized the food bank to raise money with a successful fundraiser." implies Blake organized the food bank itself, which is different.
