I moved to my current town in November, and have since joined a committee to plan a USA 250th celebration. It’s a VERY small, old town. I have never done anything like this but am giving it my best shot!! The committee members have also never done this, except for the mayor in a smaller scale. We’ll have a small amount of food trucks, vendors, kids crafts and activities, face painting and caricatures, and some prizes to raffle off

I created a coupon “passport” for local businesses in town that is running throughout the summer, leading up to our event in September. For each coupon they redeem, they get a unique ink stamp in the passport, and then turn in their passport for raffle tickets at the event. We also want to sell raffle tickets to those who either want more or those who didn’t participate in the coupon book.

The problem we can’t figure out is how much to price the for-purchase raffle tickets at the event, and how many to give per stamp they receive.

For example, if we charge $1 per raffle ticket, and only give 1 raffle ticket per stamp, that’s unbalanced because some of these coupons, the person had to spend $10-50 to get that stamp

I would really appreciate constructive comments only, I am very aware we are late in the game to be still planning stuff like this and would rather not sort through mean comments

Hi all, just got here and I don’t know if this is the right thread for my questions! I’m on my towns heritage society and we are planning a town event - food trucks, vendors, kids activities, and raffles - am I in the right place? I’ll make a more specific post once I get some answers

Hi all, I just got here. I’m broke, depressed, and am currently in a legal battle with my mom. You can read a previous post of mine for that info. I started selling my homemade cookies and it was going well, until someone at work claimed I was soliciting. I literally build a raffle based coupon book for my small town and put my cookie business in there to get more customers. I also instacart on the side and it’s just not cutting it. Between therapy and the now 3 mental health medications I’m on, my monthly costs for that alone is $460 now. I need to raise money for that and to take my mom to court. Can I fundraiser for… myself?? I feel like my situation is not bad compared to the people I see raising money for funeral costs, medical bills, that stuff, but regardless I’m still broke and have these new expenses. Would that be wrong? I don’t really want to set up a gofundme, but just fundraiser with like pasta events and the sort

ETA: I do have a lawyer already but will need more money to pay for further court actions
