[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunately, there are some intelligent parents in the world who can see through the fun run scams, and they will teach their children well. If Boosterthon and Apex disappeared tomorrow, and their promoters were imprisoned, the world would be a better place, and the children in every school affected would be better off. It is sad to see the state of parent participation where a school's major fundraiser is taken over by corporate greedhead scammers. In these cases, the school's volunteer community is alienated and shattered, parent participation declines, and school spirit dies. This is exactly what fun run scams like Boosterthon and Apex Fun Run do to schools, and the scams turn the schools into dependent wards of outsourced fundraising. It takes forever to rebuild a sense of community and volunteer bases after a school surrenders to a fun run. Fun run scams are extraordinarily destructive to school communities, they steal half the money, they disable volunteer systems. Do not ever allow anyone from a fun run like Boosterthon or Apex into your school.[/quote] I think you are being a little dramatic! They are for profit companies. The PTAs are aware of this.[/quote]
