Educational institutions, whether they are
preschools, parochial schools, high schools, or colleges, are always in need of
funding. Various monies are used to provide activities, events, field trips,
and educational tools for students. Who doesn't believe in helping children of
all ages develop a love of learning while also giving them the tools to achieve
their best? Money is not only necessary but a critical need for all schools and
fundraising events like charity basketball games are among the ways that institutions
can gather dollars. A recent event I attended at our local high school pitted
current administrators and teachers against a widely known and entertaining
basketball team for a fundraiser. In
addition to the ticket prices, the school sold these
hand fans to attendees for $1.50 apiece. Not a bad way to get the fans involved!
Waving these was fun for adults and kids alike during the game, and I knew that
the purchase helped to benefit the school district. Plus, if most kids are
anything like mine, they took these fans home and kept them. My son has his on
a shelf in his room with his trophies and other memorabilia. Each time I see
it, I'm reminded of the fun we had that night and the money raised to help
support our local schools.
