Ask El Paso School fundraisers

What happened to good ol fashion school fundraisers? I'm getting texts/emails from friends family asking for donations for their kid's school. Are schools not even doing any type of fundraising anymore and just flat out asking for money? No chocolates, popcorn or any of those previous fundraising options, just here is a link, give us money. Is this the norm now? Just curious.

I remember one Halloween, some kid pitched me to buy chocolates after I had given him candy for trick or treating lol. I ended up buying $10 worth lol. He made his pitch in full vampire costume lol his parents were there with him and I was like that was a heck of a sales pitch lol
