The fund raising is because of one or two annoying twunts who want their darling to have everything and you are guilted into participating. Asking friends to subsidize your kids stuff, embarrassing. It's mostly for those couple parents who have a business and can donate.
Oh we need tracksuits, here is the order form. Fata off Karen. When we finally put the foot down and told the kid no, he cried when all the tracksuits arrived. After that though, he also thought it was stupid and understood.
After the first kid went through all this I was wiser, so first thing after that first team email, I would reply-all and say "Hey guys, I have sourced out this company that can make these glow-in-the-dark ceramic sheep with the kids names on them, let me know how many you guys want on this order form, the kids in the past really loved them so you don't want to miss out'.
