All ridiculousness of it needing to exist aside…

Nothing makes me feel more like a successful adult than donating to / buying things from kids school fundraisers.

Limited Scope of Caring

The other day my husband and I were talking about selling things for a club or school. There were some kids asking for money outside of the grocery store, but they weren't actually selling anything as part of that charity request.

Anyway when I was a kid I was in band so they would have us sell candy, typically. My parents would have me go around our neighborhood and would often drive to my grandmothers neighborhood which was nearby and sell there.

The thing is, people's scope of caring is pretty small. For instance when I was selling they would often ask what school it was for, and if it was not a school in their neighborhood, they would decline purchasing anything. It always struck me as funny because kids are kids but someone decided to not help ME out, because I lived a town over in a different school district. Kind of amusing. Like 'hey I only care about kids in a 10 mile radius, sucks for you'.

You'd have thought my parents would have directed me to name a local school to the area or something to avoid this.

For a school fundraiser. That is all that is important today. Who wouldn’t want to dress up like a mattress. Everyone’s a little mattressy some days.

Your priveledge is showing Fundraiser Mom...

Gotta call out this Fundraiser Mom and her priveledge. Due to the fact that she wants her 'blessed' children to be 'blind' to the socioeconomic differences within their public school, she wanted school fundraisers to be largely Adult Only oriented events...thus circumventing the gym teacher's plans for the Jump For Heart Fundraiser for the American Heart Association (the students didn't get any incentive prizes this year...so less money was raised) and the other student incentive fundraisers the PTO had planned for the remainder of the school year...just because she wants to be President of the PTO.

Online Raffle

An online raffle is a type of raffle that takes place entirely over the internet. Participants purchase raffle tickets online and are entered into a drawing for a chance to win a prize. Online raffles can be hosted by businesses, organizations, or individuals to raise funds for a cause or to promote a product or service.

Online raffles offer several benefits over traditional raffles. First, they are convenient for participants, as they can purchase raffle tickets from anywhere with an internet connection. Second, they offer a broader reach, as they can attract participants from anywhere in the world. Third, they are cost-effective for organizers, as they do not require the physical printing of tickets or the need to secure a physical location for the drawing.
