Starting a Raffle/fundraiser and need ideas?
A family that is very close to my family just lost their house is a fire and earlier that day the mother of the family found out she had a tumor on her brain. other bad karma has happened that i dont need to get into but the point is me and my mom are doing a raffle and we have done pretty well so far but need more ideas…..some things we got was gift certificates to different restaraunts, scratch tickets were donated, some other small gifts, cash, and the place we are holding it is giving the hall to us for the night for free. I am trying to think of other places i can go to get a donation to raffle off….everywhere i look online they say cars and houses but obviously we cant go to that extent. So please any ideas that are in reach let me know! thanks!
Someone else actually told me that too! My mom told me to make flyers or like paperwork to show any business i go to and ppl i invite as proof and we are holding it at a private club that my mom is a member at and also the lady who lost her house do you think that we can get in trouble for that? what do we have to do so we dont get in trouble?

If there are able-bodied, willing people around, have them raffle off an hour or two of their time to help with yard work, etc.
Be really careful doing this, there are places where holding raffles, even for a good cause, can get you in trouble.
EDIT: Look up your state laws on fundraisers. you might be all right, but you might have to get a permit. It just depends.
