Does anyone know what percentage of the ticket price is considered “proceeds” that actually end up as scholarship money? I just wonder how much goes to the MAC, how much for food, etc.

I don’t have the answer, but I do know the ticket seller has to tell you the “value” of the ticket when touted as a not for profit benefit- it is usually on the ticket, but I’m sure you can send an email & ask.
