This story is from 2007 but provides an additional perspective on School Fundraising programs.
Parents Balking At School Fundraising, Some Say It Takes Up Too Much Time And Prefer To Just Write A Check - CBS News: "'I simply called the school and called the principal and said my son will not be participating any further in sale-type of fundraisers,' she told McGinnis.
And, McGinnis points out, she's not alone."

Although it's good to fund-raise, at the same time I can sympathize with the parents who are tired of buying tubs of cookie dough or pushing other higher-priced products. Today's generation of parents are better off using online methods for fundraising, like our school which uses the free toolbar from Give2Network.com. All of the searching and shopping done through our toolbar earns us money. Browsing and shopping online is something I do anyways, so that is one fundraiser I can handle.
