Everyone sept me and one other person got door prizes this time I spect a different result not complaining though, that was an awfull lot of donations from a lot of good people. I think we should all take the time to acknowledge these folks with a PM, Email or a Phone call thanking them for their contribution. I have seen cases in other states where vendors felt slighted for acknowledgement of what they had done and refused to donate any more.

A raffle is when a vendor donates an item and all the proceeds, above or below the items value, is donated to a cause.

I agree.....All the raffled items at Spring camp were donated......all proceeds went to the fruit jar fund. Cray is right only two people did not get a door prize. I did not even get a ticket for myself because I wanted someone else to have a chance to get one. Its all good now.....if its not perfect.......its pretty dadgummed close.
