like everyone else we do team fundraisers and try and find local business to sponsor our team. I also try to instill community involvement with my girls. We do volunteer work for Breast Cancer. Here are my 2 questions. I getting a few of my parents disagreeing with the way team funds are handled. When we do any fundraiser or looking for sponsors I tell the sponsor right up front that we give 10% off all donated money we received to one of our local Breast Cancer foundations. The same with any fundraisers. For example at a recent fundraiser we had businesses donate gifts and we made about $500. Which we would give $50 to the Foundation. I have 2 parents that think that we should not giving money away. I try and tell them its not coming from team fees just donations.
Secondly some parents want half of any sponsorship money they bring in to offset their cost. For Example if they find a sponsor willing to give $500 they think $250 of that should be taken off their fee for the year. I have never had a problem in the past with any other teams. Meanwhile these same parents do not seem to have a problem when I treat the team for pizza or bagels
does anyone have a opinion
