Dear Parents,
We are getting ready for our auction fundraiser in mid-May. Last year the raffle tickets raised $6,000. We are going to sell raffle tickets again. Last week a group of parents met to discuss items we could use for raffle items. There will be two types of raffle tickets: $5 tickets and $1 tickets. The $5 tickets will be for items ranging in the value from $300 - $500, and we would like to have at least three items. The $1 tickets will be for items ranging in the value from $50 - $100, and we would like to have 5-10 of those items.
Concerning the items for the $5 raffle tickets, here are a couple of ideas we came up with that we thought you might help us with:
New Lap-top Computer - Could you donate a new lap-top computer as a big-ticket item? Perhaps you could donate part of the cost of a new computer, and we could put your contribution with another family's to buy a new lap-top.
Corporation Perks - Sometimes corporations give their employees perks such as weekend getaways or luxury seats to a ball game. Is there something from your employer that you have access to that you are willing to share with the school for the raffle?
The items for the $1 raffle tickets may be a little easier to secure. New items, gift cards, services are all appropriate.
Anything you can do to help will be appreciated. Let us know this week if you can help with any of these items.
Sincerely,
Pastor Sutton
