Let’s just keep piling on Tiger Woods. A news report from Wisconsin has a middle school band blaming Tiger Woods for only 80% of their students being able to afford a trip to Disney World. Their “top” fundraising/auction item was an autographed picture of Mr. Woods. Expected to raise $1,500, it only made $300. They’re saying his recent indiscretions caused the price to plummet.

I don’t blame Woods, I blame the school and the children for an awful fundraising strategy. Never put that many eggs in one basket, especially when it’s simply an autographed picture. Autographed pictures are like collecting baseball cards, there’s no real value in them except for reselling. They should’ve sold hoagies or candy bars, which is a proven fundraising tactic.

Now if they had a picture of Tiger Woods and one of his mistresses then those pictures could’ve sold to the highest bidding tabloid and then the band would be taking stretch Hummers to Disney World. Think out of the box kids.
