I'm attending an Xmas Funday organised by a local baby group but I'm Starting to believe it's all a bit dodgy.
For months now the girl organising has been contacting local businesses asking for donations for the raffle. Places have been extremely generous. Restaurants, gyms, soft play have donated free passes, free meals etc.
Yesterday tesco donated around £100 of stuff including 4 digital ear thermometers. These have now been put on the baby group Fb page to be sold and for the proceeds to go back into the Funday. Aibu to think that is a bit much?
There is no charity aspect to any of this they are charging £3 for entrance 100 have already bought tickets, there are stalls people are holding selling stuff like homemade cards, these stall holders have had to pay to do this.
The event itself is in a working men's club there will be a bouncy castle and a few activities. It just seems like there is so much money being thrown at this it's not going to cost what she is making I think if she is making a profit she should say so and be upfront about it or state she is donating it to charity.
I have looked into this and i think it may be illegal plus she is advertising it on Facebook isn't there rules about raffle tickets etc? Would I be unreasonable to report to somebody!
