[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 306327, member: 1233"] After his phone calls he is 3 short of the first "official" prize level. I think 15 is WAY too high for elementary kids, esp when the items are $15 each. He is such a good sport about it. Just said "maybe next year. I did better than I did last year on the fundraiser and boy scout popcorn combined." So instead of having him ask grandma to buy more I told him we would find something equal to the prizes and buy it for him. Shouldn't cost more than $10. He does get a participation prize (had to sell TWO items to get that, GRRRR. Some of our kids don't have food on the weekend, how do they expect them to sell $30 worth of cookie dough?) and a magic worm for selling 8. I love to run fundraisers. I know I know, it alone qualifies me for crazy. But I usually find prizes that I fund out of the proceeds and take the extra 10% that they charge you to provide prizes. I also have gotten much better sales. Maybe next year I will be able to do that. I hope. [/QUOTE]
