[quote=Anonymous]We had the Boosterthon fun run one year and no one was made aware that half the proceeds (actually 55%) went back to Boosterthon and not our school. Once a few unhappy PTA parents started talking it spread like wild fire the day of the event. I was one of the clueless ones. The next PTA meeting was a zoo! So many complaints and we fortunately never had it again. We made $18,000 but over $22,000 went to the company. Money the parents assumed most of which was going towards the school's playground which was going to cost $25,000. It was insane how it completely backfired. The following year they did a "cash and check means no fundraising for a year" event. They made almost $25,000 in two weeks. [/quote]
