Oh another tip you may want to know: if your "prizes" ever exceed $599, your winners would have to report to the IRS the value...that's the total value of the raffle so even if they only win a slice they have to report on taxes. But you are fine with a $500 drawing!
Thanks again for the great idea! I would love to try this with some groups in my area.

When selecting products to feature at your fundraising booth, consider showcasing popular items that are easy to demonstrate and appeal to a wide audience. Great options include kitchen tools like the Classic Batter Bowl, the Mix 'N Chop, and the Garlic Press. Additionally, featuring seasonal items or exclusive collections can attract attention and encourage sales.
How can I create an engaging display for my fundraising booth?
To create an engaging display, use colorful tablecloths and clear signage to highlight your fundraising cause.

Incorporate interactive elements, such as live cooking demonstrations or samples of prepared food, to draw in attendees and encourage them to stop by.
Should I offer any special promotions or discounts at my booth?
Yes, offering special promotions or discounts can incentivize purchases. Consider providing a percentage of sales to the fundraising cause or offering a discount on certain items.

Clearly communicate the purpose of your fundraising efforts by having informative materials available, such as brochures or flyers that explain the Light the Night Walk and how the funds will be used. You can also share personal stories or testimonials that highlight the impact of the cause, making it relatable and encouraging attendees to support your booth.
What should I prepare in advance for my fundraising booth?
Preparation is key for a successful fundraising booth. Ensure you have enough inventory of featured products, a mobile payment option for convenience, and promotional materials ready. Additionally, prepare a schedule for demonstrations, practice your pitch, and gather any necessary supplies, such as bags for purchases and a table for your display. This will help create a smooth and professional experience for attendees.
