I hate the fundraising.
I don't want to sell chocolate bars or tickets on a basket of gift cards.
I hate asking people to support my upper middle class kids to go away for a weekend of hockey, baseball, dance whatever it is. I sign them up based on the fact that i can afford the program the team is running.
Now if they want to raise money for a program like jumpstart or we have a local organization called ProKids that helps to pay for low income family's registration fees i'm all for it.
My sons hockey team did a bottle drive for the local teen resource center earlier this fall. Kids had a ball, learned about their programs. it was great. way better than the $1000 they raised going towards some new sweatshirts or hats for the team.
