Bloomfield may have banned cupcakes in the classroom and trans fats may be on their way out, but over in Glen Ridge, the latest fundraising idea is selling Krispy Kreme donuts. Money goes to the Glen Ridge Home and School Association's High School Scholarship Fund. The order form is here. (PDF file)

Didn't you know? There are no fat and calories in any snacks you buy if the intentions are charitable.
Next month - Domino's fundraiser.
Personally, I am waiting for the Ben & Jerry's fundraiser.

I grew up in Virginia. We used to sell a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for $1.50 as a fundraiser for swim team! Now they're the gournet doughnut!
I heard they had fried butter sticks at the Harvest Fest.
Rewards for filling out the reading log is a freebee at Pizza Hut. Blech.
The day before Thanksgiving I perform the official calorie exorcism that lasts until new years day. I drive out the calories and cholesterol from all homemade chocolate chip cookies.
How do you do that?
exorcism!

I'll take a decaf coffee with a decaled doughnut.>(;o})8---
Re: "I grew up in Virginia. We used to sell a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for $1.50 as a fundraiser for swim team!"
I grew up in Virginia too, and had to sell some Krispy Kreme donuts for a high school fundraiser. I picked up my boxes and brought them home. I figured I would buy one box for home, and proceeded to have just one donut as a treat. It just melted in my mouth, and I grabbed another...next thing you know the whole dozen has been eaten, and I'm in absolute digestive misery. Years later, when Krispy Kreme opened stores in New York, I decided to have one for the first time since that day, just for old times' sake. That first bite -- rich donut part, a little greasy, suspended in that sugar glaze -- proved to be too much, and I realized I'm off them for life.
Skipwith - you are a lightweight! I would eat a dozen after swim practice, no problem, with no ill effects. I can still put down 2-3 easily and I'm 44. yikes
Yeah, and why couldn't I have had the same result with alcohol? It took about a gazillion "I can't believe I consumed *that much* last night...my head...I'm in agony...never again." experiences to get to the same, sated point.
Our Southern Cal. H.S. fundraiser consisted of cases and cases of $1 candy bars - either almond and crispy. I was my own best customer.
Oh, yes - that, and lo-cal calendars...
