to not understand why dss' school is giving money to football company

[saadia]

Children at dss' school are being asked to participate in a footballing sponsored event ie children to be sponsored to kick ball/play football. Half the money raised will go to a charity and the rest to the football company (they organise all the after-school football activities). I appreciate that this company is organising the event but am uneasy about basically having to raise money for a business.

I think its reasonable to ask the school if it is a business or a not-for-profit/charity type organisation.

You're not raising money for a business. You are enabling them to raise money for charity...that is the difference.

If the company was out of pocket each time, they wouldn't be able to raise anything.

thank you for your comments -
