I'm so sick and tired School/Sports/Group Fundraisers! We have two small business that get absolutely bombarded week in week out with people looking for Donations (handouts).......I'm all about giving back to the Community but this getting out of hand!
My kids are involved in Sports, Clubs & Arts and they come home from school with sheets for raising money all the time raising funds for this & that.....The kids do nothing and the parents do all the work.....:facepalm:
My son has a 7th Grade Class Trip coming up: They send home a sheet saying they need to raise $7,000 for an overnight trip with Laser Tag...Whoppie Friggen Deal....Here's a though, each one of you little rug rats grab a sleeping bag and camp under the stars in my back yard. I'll even buy each one of you a flashlight to play tag with that night....Hell, I'll even kick in Hot Dogs & Marshmallows. I bet I can pull this off for under $50!
Last night my daughter comes home from her schools One Act Plays around Midnight....
Me: How did your group (45 kids) make out?
Daughter: We got 2nd Place
Me: Thinking to myself (sweet end of season!)
Daughter: The school that won didn't file the $25 registration fee for the competition so they were disqualified so we get to go to the New England Competitions!
Me: Oh, that's nice......
Daughter: We need to raise around $20,000 in the next three weeks to go. I'll have the Fundraising info for "You" on Monday....
Me: WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just sick and tired of everyone looking for a handout so they dont have to pull money out of their own pocket for their kids to do some activity.....Here's a though go and work a job to come up with you're own money for these extra curricular activities!
I'm done bitching....I need to go put together a Gift Basket.........:facepalm:
