htamboer asked:


I am a sophomore in high school trying to raise money so I can travel abroad. I thought a raffle would be a good idea to raise money. I thought I could purchase an IPOD nano to raffle off, but I believe many people my age already own one. What other items would students my age buy raffle tickets for?
Just wanted to add, I’m travelling abroad as a foreign exchange student– NOT going on vacation. Thanks.

   Concert Tickets

   Other electronics are good: CD players, cordless phones, computer peripherals, alarm clocks, DVD players. People want to join raffles for stuff they actually want.

   There’s nothing better than cold hard cash.

   monthly car washes, babysitting services,dog walking

   concert tickets, celeb signatures, cell phone accesories, candies, gift baskets.

   or make something, like decorate flip-flops to look cool because that would be cheap and it would be original.

   A raffle for your personal benefit? Bad idea.

    Find a home party consultant that will work with you and your mother to host a party and give you the profit instead of the credit in sales. I would do it and have for school things before, I sell partylite and live in MD, but other companies do it to.

    Movies are always good. Also candy. Accesories for their cars (fuzzy dice, seat covers, air fresheners, steering wheel covers, etc.) or accessories for their ipods (covers, jewels, ihomes, etc.) Good Luck!!!

20. Josh D on September 7th, 2009 10:07 pm

21. Ryan R on September 11th, 2009 7:41 am

    since youra sophomore you should just raffle off cash there are still people without jobs that need extra money you just take some of the money you raised from the raffle and give it as the prize

22. ruscito_mom on September 14th, 2009 1:29 am

    Have several items, like ringtones, music downloads, and lots of diffrent gift cards, make great prizes. Then have a big basket with lots of diffrent teenagers things in it.

    your idea is good,don’t think about others what such good open ions also grate.
    students concession also there you verify.
    tour with other students is good.

30. Calexi R on September 30th, 2009 11:12 am

    You’d be surprised to hear not every kid your age has an Ipod, but it is a good idea to offer any electronics as a raffle prize. It’s always a popular draw even if it seems everybody has one, who wouldn’t mind having two? The Nintendo DS ( with Brain Age) would definitely get the teachers and or parents interested and Will boost your sales of raffle tickets beyond the student body. Especially now with x-mas coming up, you just can’t go wrong with electronics. Good Luck to you!
