Believe it or not, football season is soon upon us.  It feels like baseball season just started, doesn’t it?  Anyway, it is time for the early fundraisers for schools.  I just recently heard that one of our local schools is holding a football raffle to benefit the school.  Most fundraisers are just to benefit the team, so this one definitely stands out.

Basically, they built a box seat in the bleachers on the 50 yard line.  They are raffling off the opportunity to watch one of the games in the box seat, which also includes free refreshments from the concession stand.  What a great idea, huh?!  They are selling raffle tickets for $3 a piece or 5 tickets for $10.

Not only is this a great way to raise money for the school before the school year begins, but it is also a great way to fill seats at the football games.  This raffle will benefit them down the road when people are paying to get into the game just to get a look at the box seat and who is in it that week.  I love this idea, and I wanted to pass it on for you all to use!

Its the beginning of the school year and all the sports teams, school clubs, etc. are beginning to do their fundraising.  I found this to be so true when I went to help my husband who’s a teacher with some of his copies and what not, and I got approached by about 10 different middle school students pleading with me to buy something they were selling.  A lot of those students were actually selling raffle tickets for something.  They were raffling of a weekend vacation get-away, gifts cards to a local restaurant, and a sports pass for their school district.

I use to help out with the soccer team at our local high school and we tried fundraising with coupon books, but it didn’t work very well.  I think raffle tickets are such a great idea are able to sell easily when the object they are raffling is unique and somewhat practical.  I wish our team would have done that instead.

There’s a raffle going on right now in an organization that I’m involved in for a week’s vacation using a time share.  The only thing is that the vacation has to be taken in September so I don’t think my husband and I will be able to do it because of work.  Anyone know of any other good vacation raffles going on right now?
