Okay, I’m having a heated argument with a few parents about a trivia night silent auction. We were hosting a trivia night for my senior class to go on a trip to New York. Keep in mind that this is NOT a charitable event and that the money just goes in our pockets. We live in a small town where most families are lower or middle class. For the silent auction, students are getting baskets together that have a theme. Ex) Someone is doing movie night and putting movie tickets, popcorn, candy, etc. Someone is making a tie-fleece blanket that costs about $10 to make Some people want the silent auction to be a real silent auction. Where you have a min. bid and then people keep bidding. Others think we should do a raffle. People buy how ever many $2 tickets and put them in a can next to the basket. At the end, there would be a drawing. The silent auction consists of mostly junk…it’s not the normal stuff you see at charity event like TV’s, trips, boats, etc. Which is a better idea?
