Each year our 4-H has a
Thanksgiving and Christmas fundraising Basket Raffle. Have each
member donate a food item to fill the basket. Example: If you are doing a
Thanksgiving Basket someone can donate a can of corn, a packet of gravy mix, a
bag of marshmallows, cider mix, etc. Try and have the turkey
donated by your local grocer. Make flyers, announce
in your newsletter, memos, sell to people at work, school,
church, neighbors, etc. Sell tickets for a dollar each
which is an easy sell to most folks. Make sure to have the name and
phone number on your tickets so you know who to call
when the winner is announced. Set a date to announce
the winner and the delivery date. Put the name of your winner in your
clubs newsletter and on
the web-site if you have one. The Christmas basket raffle
fundraising obviously works the same - just the ingredients are changed.
We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this
section such as a Basket Raffle that offer a break from
traditional product sales. They were developed by groups just
like yours in an attempt have a little fun with their fundraiser. Some
of them are tried and true while others show a lot of creativity ...
and even wackiness in some cases. All of them are obviously not
appropriate for every group, but sometimes, with only a little
modification, your might find some fund raising ideas that are perfect
for your group. If you have an idea for a do-it-yourself fund raiser
you are willing to share with others, please send it to us via email

Include anything
and everything you would want to know if you were hearing the idea for
the first time.
