[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school did Boosterthon a few years ago. We did raise tons of money but also got the backlash from the parents. It doesn't bother me that 48% goes back to the company. That does seem in the ballpark with these fundraising companies. Look at Girl Scouts - [b]do people buying the $4 box of cookies realize that only ~ $.70 actually goes to the troop and the rest to the Council?[/b] It would be great if parents took it upon themselves to organize a school fun run and have all the money raised stay in the school. But unless your school has those type of parent volunteers, they will have to outsource the organization/work behind the fun runs. [/quote] I think there's a meaningful difference between -$0.70 goes to the Girl Scout troop and $3.30 goes to the Girl Scout Council and -50% goes to the school and 50% goes to a for-profit company[/quote]
