to think that sponsor forms shouldn't offer prizes to those who get more sponsership money ?

[lilyloo]

ds has brought home another sponsor form raising money for school, last one two months ago
It has a picture of prizes on the back of what he will get dependant on the money he raises up to £15 , £15+, £30+ etc
It then states a 'portion' of the fund goes to covering the cost of prizes !

yep i hate this too, we just "paid "$14 dollars for skipping rope.

YANBU This is not on. Some people have parents who can take these forms into work and get 3 million sponsors. Others don't. And I dont want to give my money (for a good cause) to give presents to people who can do that kind of thing.

I'd complain to the school.

And obviously it's a packet of stickers for a small sponsor up to £15
then a certificate, sticker book, football, stickers for the larger sponsor !
Guess what ds wants.

Hellish

objectionable to give prizes to those with the most generous family/social circle. even more objectionable that "charity" money is used for the prizes.

Can imagine how the kids are going to feel when they have done their best at event then some of them get a 'bigger' reward than others, it's not right.
Also do we tell sponsors their money may be used to buy a football?

YANBU. I suggest you just "lose" the form.

YANBU
I've heard of this although luckily our school doesn't do it.
I'd bloody complain if it did though. I usually just give DD whatever I can afford and bypass the sponsor bit but I'd hate her to feel pressured (sp?) into squeezing money out of folk for a prize.
Hideous and awful practice

We had something similar to this recently. All they had to do was list 26 countries, but they had to raise over £26 to get the prize they all wanted.

Guess whose daughter didn't send for forms back?

Turniphead see it can scar for life !
