I am guessing that this decision to fund $100 per kid was made by those in charge of the city program and your PTA fundraiser will contribute to that program...it is not your program.

I find this interesting because do they know how many kids will apply for the program ( or has that already been done). There is the potential for so many more people to need the program this Christmas that they may only be able to service a percentage of the kids who ask for help.

How can they justify giving some kids the $100 that they already decided on and cutting out others entirely.? You are already aware that a number of your people may not be able to spend $100 on their own child

I don't think your issue is getting PTA parents behind the program but to get the city people to rethink how short sighted their goal is
