One of my daughters was on the dance team back in the 80’s. They were invited to go to Ireland for international competition. There were some spoiled brats on the team who came from really wealthy families. They did not want to help everyone else raise money which at that time was over $100,000. Net result was that no one got to go which is a shame. Now, my other daughter was in the band and was invited to go to Austria and Germany for international competition. We worked like dogs raising that money. We still needed about $15,000 so some parents took out a loan so they could have this trip of a lifetime. Sure there were many on the team whose parents could have just written a check for their kids but they, too worked very hard. Different times, different results.
