To open a "gofundme" page for my son's sporting events?

My son is very dedicated to a particular sport. It is highly unlikely he'd be an Olympic champion or anywhere near that level, but he loves taking part. He goes to trading 3 to 5 times a week.

There are two residential training camps in the summer he can attend (he has been specifically invited by his coach to attend one of them) and I would dearly love him to be able to go.

I do not have the funds for it and neither does his father. I could get some of the money for it, but not all. Would it be unreasonable of my to open a gofundme account? Is that being grabby in a world where many, many people have far less than my son and I do?

I'm glad you've decided not to do it OP. I think it's grabby too.

DDs friend raised all the money needed to go in a school sports tour by busking each weekend in a nearby (very prosperous) town.
😧. There seems to be increasing numbers of teen buskers in our town belting out awful songs as loud as possible. It's awful. They do it right in the town square where all the cafes are so you can't escape. I'd pay them to go away 🙉
