I have seen boosters raise quite a bit of money for teams , I really do not see why a group of parents teachers etc cannot raise enough money through events and different types of fund raisers that such things as drinks and snacks cannot be covered , some events could be coordinated state wide to raise money every school could have its own lift a thon then have a state wide lift a thon for state funds and there are other things that can be done as well . It seems if people spent as much time trying to help and raise money as they do making excuses things would be a whole lot better .
