Does anyone ever have a problem with school fundraisers because of the products that are connected with drinking. I just thought that might break the zero tolerance rules. I know it sounds crazy but being a teacher I know how picky they are. Has anyone ever questioned this?
I love the raffle ticket fundraiser thanks for the great idea! Do they have to guarantee you a 1200 profit for the cost of the products? What if they make more, do you take more? Just wondering because I want to use this idea. Sorry if I sound clueless!
