Not worth it.
I was more than a little bit disappointed with the whole experience. I spearheaded the fundraiser for my son's school. From the beginning, the "coaches" seemed a little pushy, and their formula for success is a little wack. The main issue I have is that on the pickup date was sooner than originally agreed upon, which cut into our ability to reach said goal. And when the day came, they kept pushing the time slot back. We picked the 8-12 time slot, and they moved it back to 3:30, and then 5:30. Which made it difficult for a staff member to be there to oversee pick-up because the school at spirit night that night. I personally counted the bags, as did the secretary. When they picked them up, they claimed to have 10 bags less than what we actually had. Which obviously negatively impacted our total amount. The end amount the school received was NOT worth the amount of labor and effort that went into collecting the shoes. We had almost 2,000 pairs, and we got just under $600. We will go with a different company next time for sure
