It is just about accepted that throughout our lives we will have to
spend some time raising money. Whether that is for a school trip for the
kids, or the local sports club needs a little bit extra for the playing
fields or you have a burning desire to help a cause. There seems to be
no way to escape it.
There are those out there that actually
thrive by fundraising. I've heard them say that they love watching the
money grow. Or they get a thrill when they talk about their latest
cause. To me I think that must be the natural salesperson in them.
If
however you are more like me, the thought of fundraising raises a cold
sweat. In some respects it can be a thankless job. It is mostly
something that is in addition to our daily activities so it cuts into
leisure time. And you may have to work with a group that are
disinterested, adding to your pressure. I know that for me, each time I
fundraise, I end up with boxes of chocolates sitting in my cupboard,
which slowly disappear. Finding a profitable and easy fundraising
campaign is the dream of every PTA.
