Businesses beware. Avoid All School Fundraising. Do not buy advertising

All School Fundraising is once again contacting local businesses in Madison, and around the country for that matter, with a bogus 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 that.  Fallon faxed 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 July 13, 2012 based upon reports.

Alternatively, call Fallon and ASF at 866-327-9958 and tell them to "TRY TO MAKE AN HONEST LIVING LIKE THE FOLKS WHO TRULY SUPPORT THE SCHOOL PROGRAMS."
