ABSTRACT
For years the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Broadway Middle School had organized a variety of fundraisers in attempts to defray the effects of budget cuts or to raise money so that the band or student clubs could participate in out-of-town competitions. Often the fundraisers revolved around students selling something-usually chocolate bars. There were a half-dozen or so different companies that worked with schools on these sorts of fundraisers, providing the chocolate bars and organizing a contest to reward students who sold the most goods with passes to theme parks and other prizes. It had been an easy and effective way to raise money and many of the students enjoyed it.
