Hey Don, it sounds like you should be on the planning committee!
You would have some great input.
My suggestion was only to make the point that the games don't have to be so pricey to raise money. Other school based fundraisers we went to had wristbands or $1 per ride (or so)and raising enough cash was never an issue. I actually think people are willing to spend more if the price for activities is reasonable in the first place. I think we agree on that point, even if my last post didn't explain my position clearly.
