Ive always thought the programs that get children involved with the fundraising was fucking lame and lazy of the adults. Some old lady calls me every year to donate to the fucking local sports teams. Not to buy the advertising spot for buying jerseys and equipment, but the banners that they do across the entire county and city schools in the area. When I was deciding marketing for the dealership I used to work at, I was able to get the 10k spot every year. But Ive since moved onto real estate and I buy the 1k spot. Which is still big enough to read it while you're sitting in the bleachers and since Ive been supporting her, (and quite frankly her job) for years, she gives me a central spot above the big league donaters.
Point being, an old lady calling local businesses can raise just as much money if not more sitting on her ass making minimum wage at her house. Versus a fucking kid wasting away their summer trying to sell fucking diabetes to fat people at walmart. Ill support the little cretins, but I do not acknowledge that its for the better. What really grinds my gears is that its like $2.50-$5.00 a bar, and the school gets $1.00-$3.00 from that. Then on top of that, most schools pay someone to handle the product and the funds. Come the fuck on.
