Fundraising mess

Fundraising mess was created by ptopres913
Wanted to get some ideas from everyone out there. I am the new president of the PTO this year. I have been in the PTO for 9 years now , not in an officer capacity. We just came upon our first problem. We had a fundraiser in the school with prizes that was awarded by the company selling the cookie dough. We also arranged to pay for "spirit wear" prizes from the PTO budget in order for the sellers to have more prizes. We had worked with this company the last few years. This year they offered to provide to each student a " magic show" if the sold a minimum of 5 tubs of cookie dough. This seemed very reasonable to us as last year, the students were required to sell 30 tubs to go on a lime ride and have lunch out at a local restaurant. Last year it was paid for completely by the PTO. There were no issues last year. Now, the cookie sale is over and everyone is complaining that their children didn't sell 5, or didn't sell any , and they want them to attend the magic show. What has other PTO's done in the past when an issues like this has come up? Of course, We think that it should stay as it is , since things should not be changed at this late a time. Principal doesn't want to make anyone mad- and wants the company to open it up to everyone in the school, even if they did not sell, since people are complaining. I feel that the students/parents who made the 5 tubs will be upset since they met the number and the other children are going to attend too. Any ideas or past experiences would help us with this issue....thanks in advance.
