FUNDRAISING

For a fundraiser it is obviously best to get your prizes donated. Writing letters to local businesses as well as the local media can help you solicit big prizes for your fundraiser. Also, ask friends, neighbors and committee members if they have anything they would like to donate. People often have lovely items they are more than happy to give up for a good cause.

Raffle fundraising can be done solo or in conjunction with another event such as a dinner, gala, golf tournament or any other event. Catch people as they enter the facility to solicit ticket purchases.

Prize Ideas for Raffle Fundraisers

Big ticket items - cars, TV, computer, laptop, travel, BBQ grill, camera, jewelry, artwork (such as original paintings or sculptures), annual club membership

Small ticket items – gift cards, movie passes, homemade items (such as cakes, blankets and other crafts), car washes, home office supplies, bath sets, day pass to amusement park or athletic club

Legal Concerns: Legal guidelines regarding raffles vary by state. Do a little internet research to find out about the state raffle laws and the restrictions in your county and city.

CUSTOMER SWEEPSTAKES/SUGGESTION BOX

For a business sweepstakes, use the Raffle Themes to collect business cards or suggestions from customers and do a daily, weekly or monthly draw for a prize. Use Raffle Themes at a tradeshow to generate sales leads and do a prize draw at an appropriate time during the show. A prize that is directly related to your products or services is another great way to market your business.

REWARDS PROGRAMS FOR WORK AND SCHOOLS

Everyone wants to work for a supportive and gracious employer. Create a regular draw for employees who make suggestions on improving the company. Or, start a peer-to-peer rewards program where employees can put each other into the draw for excellent work.

Or, fill the Raffle Theme with prize tickets that employees draw on anniversaries, birthdays and other significant events.

This program can easily translate in the classroom. Fill the Raffle Theme with prizes such as a night off from homework, a special sticker or other relevant prizes that your students will enjoy.
