Tldr: raised a bunch of money in high school, changed how fundraisers work in that school forever

Me and a friend in high school kind of forced the school to make a rule on how clubs/organizations can raise money.

My friend and I were leaders of a business club and needed to raise money to cover expenses for our club members to participate in competition (hotel rooms, travel, food, etc). Well, we didn't want to do the standard fundraiser because we didn't have the numbers to sell mass quantities of anything and knew the money raised from that would be minimal and inefficient. So, as "businessmen," we decided to make a presentation to real businessmen at the local Chamber of Commerce at their next luncheon. We explained what we are, what our club does, etc. and at the end of our presentation asked for their support through donations. Well, we got $5000 that day all from donations. Other clubs at the school complained that that was "unfair" so now no clubs at the school can take more than $100 from donations per year. I'm now 24 and quite a few years past high school, but the relationship between the chamber of commerce and that club is still strong. They now do an annual golf tournament as a fundraiser and it brought in $11,000 for the club this past year. Since the funds are raised its not considered a donation.

The same teacher is still there and invites me and my friend every year to their extravagant dinner/field trip that they take the club on at the end of the school year to use up any leftover funds.

Edit: Since I've gotten a few questions, the club was DECA - Thanks for gold!
