    Honestly… the idea that they do this work, and the money goes to a school instead of them, makes it even worse to me?

      It’s a fundraiser likely for an after school program. It typically pays out a lot better than a car wash or brat fry. Typically the students run orders out to cars.

      And yeah, we probably should put more funding into schools for stuff like this instead of asking kids to fundraise.

        Our schools do a “spirit night” fundraiser at a business once a month. The business donates a portion of the sales to the school during a specific time frame. Child labor is not involved.
