I think the ones on the corner of S. Claiborne and Toledano change shirts and causes daily. Gonna start taking pics of these frickers to compare. Its every damn day while the adults sit in the neutral ground in lawn chairs.

Absolutely not.

I will donate if they are working for it like a car wash.

I don't donate to anyone with buckets at stoplights because I think it is dangerous behavior and I don't want to encourage it. Kids in parking lots or in front of stores, I usually give to.

In my home town, yes. Anywhere else probably not

ETA: my hometown has a population of less than 1,000

ETA2: and I'm an OT baller

Yes. Only if the kids are out their too though. Can't trust a group of adults asking for money to be put in a bucket at a stop light.

Yes. It encourages kids to beg for what they want, not work. It's the new thing.

I used to donate to these kids on Carrolton, but now I'm starting to think it is a scam.

Hell no. Any extra money for charity will go to a legit organization like St Jude's. way too many can shakers on the street

Nope! I want to see them earn the money. Wash my car....Or better yet, get a team of tourny ball moms to put on a car wash!

If you can't pay, don't play. Look over in the parking lot at the Escalades the parents are driving. Drop your lavish lifestyle and put your money into your kids instead of begging on street corners.

Yes, especially if they are wearing their uniforms.

It's whatever. They need the money more than I do. Let them have some fun at whatever event they're trying to attend.

There's usually a group in front of Burger King on Sherwood by the interstate that I'm pretty sure is a scam. Also saw a lady in Baker with a sign about someone dying and raising money for a funeral. Didn't donate.
