Well, no one said this wasn't a worthy cause. Of course it is!

Well, the way I see it, if the sole purpose of the event is to donate money to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation- if a 5k race costs $18k-20k just to put on, we are better off just donating that money then, aren't we? Forget the hassle of a BBQ gathering- just ask for donations. See what I mean? There is more to it than just the money. This is something to bring the community together, to have some fun as well as support a great cause. But that event needs to be realistic so people will feel comfortable attending.

Why not have $8 BBQ dinners and rides/ activities be $2 each? That way, the kids and residents can afford to participate in more activities, linger longer, and build relationships as well as raise the money. Chances are, I would be happy to pay $6 for my child to bounce three times, than have my child pay $5 to bounce once, because we all know kids just can't bounce once- they always want to go again . . . and again . . . and again.
