I had the same experience with our high school PTO. The teachers
sponsor a huge craft sale in early Nov. with the booth rental $$$
going to a scholarship fund for kids who want to major in education
in college. The PTO has a bake sale table and donates the proceeds
to the scholarship fund. Too many times I have made or seen cakes
that cost ~$8 or more to make being sold for $2.50. I'd rather donate
the cost of the ingredients.
