Re: Fundraising dilemma
You need a "mostly" option. We usually ask students to contribute something during the year - for the last two years it was $200. Then we also have a bowl-a-thon for our major fundraising activity (as opposed to corporate sponsorship). This year if students couldn't get at least $200 in pledges, they had to contribute the balance in order to travel with us.
Our South African team members have it much harder. It will cost about $3000 each to travel to our location, and then be with us in Atlanta. Many of them cannot come up with the funds.
