[quote=Anonymous]We just had our boosterthon. With the most ridiculous slogan Change the World. Seriously? It's laughable. They take 40% of what is raised and we raised a ton. The reason why schools do this type of fundraising is because it's easy. Kids are like whoa I want a prize or I want PJ day for my class. They hound their parents. Kids see the prizes other kids get in class they hound their parents. Parents, grandparents, family friends give. Boom tons of money even after the company takes their cut. We used to ask at the beginning of the year for parents to donate $75 per kid most parents didn't give anything. But with boosterthon we are averaging about $64 a kid and that's even though not everyone participates. People say they hate boosterthon and rather write a check but that's not the reality. [/quote]
