[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

Well fwiw, Booster correctly, imho, leaves communication with parents up to the party that contracted with them (the PTA, PTO, or maybe the school itself).
It's THOSE parties who make no effort to let people know up front how much is sent to Booster from the monies that the children worked to bring in.

I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be more transparent unless it involves deception.  And then is underfunding the schools the reason people use to justify this deception?[/quote]
