Valentine Raffle

Are you holding a Valentines Raffle for all those romantics we have out there? Make sure you start now ....a valentines raffle does not have to be as big and fancy as your Christmas Raffle I usually do 3 or 4 prizes. Here are some ideas.

A Large Cuddly Bear with a bottle of wine and some Chocolates (all bought in the January sales)
wrapped up and tied at the top with a lovely large red bow. 

Most Pizza shops will do a special heart shaped pizza for Valentines so ask them to donate you one as a prize. Print out the voucher and place it with a bottle of wine and a nice scented candle wrapped and tied with a lovely ribbon.

Ask your local cinema if they will donate 2 tickets,place them in a basket with some popcorn and assorted sweets,Wrap and tie with love.

A romantic meal for two is a great prize and if you have a restaurant that is very popular and hard to get a seat on Valentines then ask them now!!!  Some times you have to pay out for prizes and this may be one of them,but ask the owner if they will donate a bottle or two of wine or give some discount. 

Flowers.......Ask the local florist if they will donate Valentines Flowers to be delivered on Valentines Day. Print out the vouvher as the prize so the winner can arrange the details.

A his and her pamper day......Ask around the many local Spa's and see if you can grab a package for two people.

Not all of our prizes can be donated and we do understand that they get many requests for donations so please remember to always be polite when asking and always send a thank you note after the event to let them know how much was raised for your good cause.

Start selling the tickets at least 3 weeks before and make sure the raffle is drawn five days before Valentines to give people time to organise the prizes.

Not many people sell raffle tickets this time of year so get in there and grab and make lots of funds for your good cause xxxxxx
