[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so tacky. Our team is really pushing this, and I cannot bring myself to ask friends to donate to my kids' activities. Do you do it anyway or ignore? [/quote]

You are completely tone deaf.  Not everyone on the team has it so easy, and rather than call out the 2-3 kids for whom raising the money is necessary, they give everyone the info.  So you write a check and others fundraise.  You do you, and maybe write the check for a little something extra to help the divorced kids family, the immigrant family, or the one who is cleaning the toilets at your house for you, since none of them cannot afford it as easily as you [/quote]

I think you missed the point that OP implied this was about a travel team. These teams are a choice. You decide to pay. If you can’t afford to pay, you shouldn’t play. [/quote]

Newsflash for you, at least a couple kids on that travel team are on scholarship, and not playing full price.  These are the families that need the fundraising.

How do you peiple not know/understand this?[/quote]

Highly location/sport dependent. [/quote]
