Hello, I have 3 kids: 6,4,2.
This week I volunteered at a bingo fundraiser for my eldest's school. They use the money for field trips, busing, and supplies.
However, I couldn't help but feel extremely guilty at taking all of the money from people who were playing the bingo. There was no one there from even a middle class lifestyle, and seeing them throw down 20's was very disturbing. I mentioned it a few times in the "change room" and several other parents felt the same way. I know it's going to a good cause, but I don't feel it was an ethical method of fundraising. After about 4 hours, we raised about 1000$ from 8 volunteers.
Has anyone else out there felt the same?
Should I just go with it?
On a side note, I loved volunteering at my kids' school twice this week. One as a parent helper and one at the bingo. Made me feel like a superior human for helping out when others didn't.
