I think OP is wondering the current world seems to look at donation as entitlement.

If it was a sport they would not need to solicit donations nearly as much. Pretty much those donations are going to the organizing bodys profits when the kids just want to compete.

Sad for the kids. I don't understand why it's the shoppers' problem tho. They can ask for money and those that have it will give it to them but cornering people at the entrance of a place they're at to buy food.....which is already way overpriced these days, is a little much, don't you think?

I'm not excusing bad manners though would say that reflects the state of the sport from the top on down, far to many of those sorts of moms involved. Would rather have my daughter politely asking for donations at a grocery store than the wink wink nudge nudge car washes anyday.

OP isn't saying anything about polite requests for donations. So, I guess we're on the same page. I think it's very wrong when parents let their kids grow up with a feeling of entitlement. In our days, it was over their own money while today's kids are being brought up with a sense of entitlement to others money
