It is really deceptive to call it a "fundraiser" when the money collected is for YOURSELF.

If you want to have a real fundraiser (in the generally understood meaning of the word) then hold the fundraiser and donate the money to a LEGIT charitable cause.

If you are going to keep the money to pay for something for yourself, then be honest and do not call it a fundraiser.

If you are raising funds for something, anything really, then it's a fundraiser.

And I'm not going to argue, I'm just pointing out facts.
