A word of caution--when I worked in fundraising, raffles were kind of dicey legally. I can't remember the details, because it's been 10+ years. (So things may have changed) I'm wracking my brain to try to remember whether the problem was winning cash (or the cash pot-equivalent in products) or the nature of the business/charity/individual doing the raffle. Please look into whether it is legal for you to do a raffle like this! I was in Texas at the time; it may vary from state to state or even counties or towns.

The winner won $103 in the form of shopping spree to be concluded in the next day or two ~ in the fundraising "party" and I am giving 100% commission to the cause (she is a 7 yr old girl in my Brownie Troop with ovarian cancer). Since it was such a HIT (and very exciting) I plan to do some form of it with my larger parties. I will also look into it. Maybe just calling it a silent or tea cup "auction" is all we need. a HUGE success! Yea

"The Pampered Pool"I have done this before. I borrowed the idea from a partylite consultant. I call it the Pampered Pool. I have a sheet with 54 numbered squares. people can buy as many #'s as they want at $2 a piece. If the whole board is filled, that person wins $100 in free product. The extra go towards shipping and handling. If the board is not completed, then the the amount of the free product is adjusted accordingly. I usually have one of these in the host packet and the host can get squares even from people that choose not to order. I always do the drawing after everyone has ordered, so that it is a bonus to what they already ordered.
