Costs for putting on fundraisers should be written into the budget at the beginning of the year. That is what local dues are for - you can't be coming to everyone for every event and asking them to give money. It's probably written into your bylaws that you (and every other chairman) have to stay within the confines of your budget. They are not being selfish at all.
Plus - do you mean $30 a sister??! Even with only 30 sisters, that would be $900 - believe me, flyers and publicity don't cost that much! That's the point - this money you are requesting is for operating costs, not going directly to the little boy's benefit.
Now if it was a question of the sisters refusing to give DONATIONS of what they could, or not working on the fundraiser, that's different. But in this case they are completely justified telling you no.
