Yesterday’s athletes needed sports equipment Mia Hamm Jerry Rice Michael Jordan Lisa Leslie
Yet, budget cuts leave schools without the sports equipment kids need
Traditional school fundraising sales do not reach many potential supporters “I would gladly help the schools I attended in Miami and my nephew’s school in LA. However, I am in NYC, and the folks selling cookie dough don’t reach me.”
Traditional school fundraising sales squander most available support Cookie dough, wrapping paper, chocolate, etc. merchandise sales: Time-consuming and disruptive Not tax-deductible Not matched by employers Inefficient ($3.7 B in sales, but only $1.7B goes to the schools) * $2 billion that could have bought school resources goes to pay for the fundraising merchandise, instead * Source: Wall Street Journal
