Basket Raffle

Here's a really creative spin on a classic raffle. Every class picks a theme for the basket they're putting together — something like sports, chocolate, or summer fun. Ideally, students or parents get the items for the basket donated from local businesses that have something to offer related to that theme. Present a list of baskets and their contents to friends, family, and neighbors and sell raffle tickets for a shot at winning one. Your school can make quite a profit!

One parent says: "Be creative! The baskets are beautiful, and people think this is a great idea. Our school made $2,000 this year."
