[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be glad that other people buy the tickets and the high-priced auction items and that that benefits all the kids at the school.  That is the point.  Would you rather the school not have the auction funds?[/quote]

Not a Janney parent, but this. The whole reason why Janney is desirable is because the parents are able to fundraise and help improve the school. You can't afford it or don't like to participate? Fine. But why criticize others whose support benefits the whole school?[/quote]

You can have the fundraiser and still raise funds via auction, experiences. My school only charges the per person cost of the event (venue and food, alcohol is donated, don’t need to make a profit on that). Works out to $30-$40. Free tickets for any family that asks (through a dedicated staff member no parents) no questions asked. The funds are raised via donations and auctions. They still raise a significant amount. Personally, I think it’s more important to be inclusive to all families than to make a few extra thousand on door charge. Maybe having a $30 door charge will allow that boarder person to have $50 to buy a gift card. I know it’s all the same money but they’d be impactful thinking they had a direct effect.[/quote]

So what you are saying is that your school gets free stuff. Wow, helpful.[/quote]
