Businesses Beware. Avoid Solicitors Called "All School Fundraising."

Avoid this company's pitch if they call in "support of the high school band." This false claim of support comes around every couple of years.

 

All School Fundraising is once again contacting local businesses in Madison, and around the country for that matter, with a story of "working with the Daniel Hand Band" to raise money for the band.  The problem is that only All School Fundraising is getting any money.

I spoke at length to "Fallon" at ASF Monday morning and then made contact with John Gage at the high school and the Chamber of Commerce.  John Gage, the band program director that Fallon claimed to be working with had been contacted by ASF but he expressed no interest in their assistance and told them so.  That does not change their pitch.  Fallon faxed it to me the offer which looks official but is worthless, in terms of supporting the school.

Similar stories are on-line if you Google the company and add "complaints."  Eastchester in New York merchants were victimized as recently as 7/13/12 based upon published reports.
