I am annoyed at the number of organizations that I have to push through to get into practically any store in my area. One Walmart had 4 different groups putside at the same time all "collecting donations" at the same time. One was for a soccer team to go to Districts. A mile down the road, that soccer team's main competition was having a car wash. I donated to the team having the car wash.
One of my favorite fundraisers I have seen (a few years ago) was outside of a Toys R Us. A group of Boy Scouts was outside wrapping gifts in exchange for a donation. They had 4 tables set up and were working fast (but good). They had a huge line. People get to donate and get a chore out of the way at the same time.
A high school cheerleading squad wraps presents at my local Barnes and Noble to raise money.
I think this is a great idea. A lot of people would be happy giving money for gifts wrapped (and I expect many people donate a little extra if they know it is for a good cause). It also teaches the children involved the value of hard work towards a goal, and the fact that money is never free.

Exactly. I think that's the point that most of us are trying to make.
Lots of kids are involved in positive activities. You don't have to be "groveling on the ground for money" to be panhandling.
So will you send me some money so my kids can go to more wrestling tournaments?
Forget your kid's wrestling tournament - I am officially now asking for donations to send me on a 10-day Western Carribean cruise. Because, I am a bingo champ, and plan on playing bingo on the ship. PayPal it to w w w eatmyshorts dot com

Why does hard work always have to end up in earning money? Can't valuing hard work come from getting a job done, achieving a goal, learning a new skill, etc?
Why must it always involve the almighty dollar? Why do some value money so much above all else that we scoff when asked for a donation of it?

Yes. This is the same thing as a national sports competition. Hope you didn't hurt yourself on that stretch.
