[quote=NewHorizon]I hear-tell PTAs elsewhere have brought in local run clubs to manage fun runs. As I understand it, they're practically the same as Boosterthons, but they use local people and the overhead is a lot lower. BTW, here's an [b]update[/b]: Booster Enterprises doesn't get 48% any more. Their new contract stipulates a sliding scale depending on gross revenues: 35% to Booster Enterprises if revenues exceed $160K, or [b]up to 70% of child-generated funds go to Booster Enterprises[/b] if gross revenue falls below $15K. This doesn't include the $2,000 paid to Booster Enterprises upon signing the contract with the PTA. On a lesser note, the contract also compels the PTAs to waive their right to a jury trial - use arbitration instead (so, no class action lawsuits) - and the contract prohibits the PTA from running other fundraisers at the same time as the fun run. How these stipulations are in the best interest of our PTAs, I don't know.[/quote]
