Just charge me a couple hundred $ extra and be done with it. I've been trying to think of the right adjective to describe this, no luck so far.
I totally agree with you. Not a fan of that.
I am totally with you. I have no problem with a car wash and we usually have individual fundraisers where kids can cell entertainment books or candy on their own and raise money to cover their fees. I don't have family in my town and don't like asking friends to fork over 50-100 for a poker tournament. Every time we have one I wind up buying all the tickets and beg people to attend.Just charge me a couple hundred $ extra and be done with it.

We have been doing a drawing for a soft Yeti cooler for the past 2 years. Tickets sell very well and the parents of the kids on the team usually buy several as well because it is really nice to use yourself on tournament days. That's pretty much all the fund raising we have had to do and total cost by the parents was reasonable. Made around $5,500 last spring. My wife actually won the last one! She was very excited. And no I'm not a coach nor did we have any part of the draw down. Ha

I too hate these pan handling things...
That said two years ago DD's 12u team decided to do this at a Walmart in mid January. The girls baked brownies and cookies. I was a skeptic but we raised $900 in 5 hours.
It was 12 degrees and we were forbidden to enter the store during the fund raising. My opinion is that we should have all wrote a check but some parents could not afford to do so.
So you sold $5,500 worth of raffle tickets for the soft sided Yeti cooler? Awesome ROI if you did!
