[quote=Anonymous]Is this strange? We've been hit up by two nieces with digital campaign links to cover some sort of expenses required for a sport played at their public school. Their public schools are well-funded UMC districts and their parents are UMC working professionals. Why does each student-athlete teen apparently need to raise upwards of $1,000? We never had to do this for our kids. Is the school making kids do this or is this something the parents are doing to freeload off others to pay for normal high school athletic expenses? I'm confused. I recall once selling candy door to door in the early 90s for a TRAVEL sport but I've never heard of an somewhat affluent suburban public school not fully funding an athletic program. Of course we still gave them each $50 because we don't want to look like the cheap aunt and uncle but I find this really tacky. Especially when we were texted the link and told so and so family already donated, hint hint.[/quote]
