We had one for tee ball. The letter stated that the child HAD to reach a goal of 8 orders OR donate $30. It should not be mandatory. I already paid his damn registration fee to play. Some people do not have $30 to piss away and alot of people are getting sick of ordering overpriced crap from the kids' parents. I did the fundraiser and didn't even order anything. I'm not paying $11 for a Butter Braid. Luckily I have great coworkers that ordered a few things. Now I don't have to pull $30 out of my rear.But if given the opportunity to make a one time $$ donation instead of fundraising.....would you and how much would you be willing to give?

I detest fundraisers. That being said, I did participate in my son's t-ball fundraiser. His pre-k had one shortly after the t-ball fund. and I did not participate. I did not want to harass friends, family and co-workers again. I have already decided that when he starts Kindergarten in August, I am not going to be doing any more fundraisers. JMHO.
In answer to your question, I would be willing to donate $30.00 but that is it. I agree with Socki. I felt like the registration fee was enough.

That I would not have participated in at all.
Was that with the school or outside of school?

I don't know. I'm sure if each parent donated $15 to cover the $30 per child, that'd be fine.
I see your point here, we're a family of one child. Could get quite pricy.
I'm sure if I went to a PTA meeting I might already know this.....but does anyone know how much (average) $$ a school makes in a year? The actual amount the school gets to keep that is.

Tee ball.
So's my ass but I'm not walking around selling it. (Hush)
The blueberry creamcheese is awesome but $11 is too much for me to spend on a huge danish. Money is due tonight. Want to buy a few?

Butter Braid is where people put butter in their hair and braided their hair.
