[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 463227, member: 11791"] Fundraisers get my goat too... except for one: The older kids get to sell gift cards for local grocery stores, on a really win-win basis... the person who purchases the gift card gets dollar for dollar back... e.g. pay $100 for a gift card worth $100. The store then pays the school a commission (usually 5%, sometimes 10%) off of every card sold. So, my $100 gift card nets the school $5 or $10. The store feels like they win too, because then the $$ are committed to be spent at [I]their store[/I]. And these are not restaurants and trendy clothing stores... we're talking [U]groceries[/U]. I'm going to spend the $$ on groceries anyway (and yes my fave store is in on the program), so the school might as well get the commission! [/QUOTE]
