[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school raised $25,000 and the parents gave the principal an earful.  But the PTA and teachers decided to try it and we managed to get chrome books for all the 4th and 5th grade classes.  Same percentage as wrapping paper and that only ever made us $3000.[/quote]
You made more because it was deceptive, and it was at the expense of the kids.  Congratulations.[/quote]

Exactly.  I rather purchase the wrapping paper which specifically says 50% of the proceeds will go back to the school - and you get wrapping paper which you normally have to buy anyway.

Boosterthon NEVER EVER says:  Donate money to the school and we as a company will pocket 48-60% of it for showing up a few days and then the rest goes to your school.   It is a deception that 80-90% of the parents and families do not know about.  The kids do not know about.  Extended families who the kids plead for money 100% do not know about it.

Send home a Boosterthon flyer that says 50% of the proceeds go back to the school and 50% go to Boosterthon.  See how that goes over.... [/quote]
