Thanks.
I was thinking of raffling off a cool and serve tray- and also doing a free drawing for a $20 gift certificate.
 
check your local city/state laws. Some areas have laws that govern who can and cannot hold raffles.
 
I've done a 50/50 raffle before. The winner won 50% of the take in a PC shopping spree, and I donated the other 50% to the local Boys and Girls Club. It did well, hoping this year it will do even better!
