Fundraising Idea (That worked)

(Texas)

What my team did was do a 50/50 raffle where we sold raffle tickets to people for $5 a piece and half of the money from each ticket went to the team and half went into a jackpot that went to the winner of the raffle drawing. The winner got all the money in cash and the person that won was a sibling of someone on my team and was generous to add to our profit with some of the jackpot money so you might get lucky with that too. In a month we raised $2500 with just raffle tickets and the winner got $1250 in cash and then donated $250 back to us.
