[quote=Anonymous][quote]One of the problems I have with Boosterthon is how much of the donation they take. Your friends and family are donating to your child; they are thinking most of it will go to your child's school. But, in actuality, less than half goes to the school.[/quote] This. It is highly unethical for fundraisers to take a percentage of what's raised. They could and should charge a fee that is variable based on the number of kids or classrooms at the school. So then the PTA knows up front that they are paying $10K or $12K or whatever for Boosterthon staff time & crappy prizes -- and what you raise beyond that, you keep. [/quote]
