Re: Fundraiser question
Pismeyer --
One thing I would wonder about in your situation is the attitude of the school and community. Like it or not, poker is still considered gambling, and looked down upon by many sectors in our community. Even those who accept it, believe it should be an "adult" event, and may not like it on school grounds, or involving students.
I've run them for our local hospital and Jewish Community Center. In both cases we put an age restriction of 21, even though our state has no minimum age (must be 21 to play the lottery, but a 3 year old can play a poker tournament).
However, when I was approached by the athletic boosters club from a couple different schools, the schools/PTA both nixed the idea.
Just make sure you get consensus from all areas of the community.
