DC have arrived home from school today with sponsors forms for a Jump Rope for Hearts event in school., which is basically a skipathon.
Happy to ask friends and family for sponsors and then littlest DD says they 'have' to get £50 each. Turns out that collecting £50 sponsorship earns each child a digital skipping rope. Which apparently is a must have when all your friends will be getting one.
I think it's totally unfair to do such a thing. DCs now understand that this is a target rather than a must do, but I know they're disappointed. But we have so many sponsored events throughout the year and ther's no way they could collect £50 each.
Smacks of pure greed in the part of BHF to me. AIBU?

To think that BHF are out of order to incentivise sponsorship gathering for small children?
