FRG Raffle Ideas - Military Activism & Advocacy

kaci_ayres · 08-11-2009, 01:48 PM

Our unit is home, and we are trying to think of a raffle idea for our Christmas party. In the past, we had a Wii donated to us and a rifle from a local pawn shop which did really well, but since the rules have changed, I'm finding that it's a little trickier to find things we can use. I want several items this year instead of one big one, so if anyone can think of a few inexpensive yet cool ideas for raffle items, I would LOVE to hear!!!

Thanks in advance,

Kaci Ayres

You do know you can not do a "raffle" right?

my FRG did silent auctions! and i think we used different themed baskets, one was candles, one was mexican, one was relaxation ect...

I always thought it was impossible to do these things because FRGs aren't allowed to ask companies to donate; therefore, the FRG would have to spend money on the items and hope that the raffle or silent auction brings in more money than was spent.
