Thank you so much for the ideas. Actually the family is in MI and I am in California, so i don't really know what the laws are there, but i will mention this to my husband so he can tell the family's friend about that.
You are right about the reason because it was meant to be for them, but the need of the family i guess brought up the suggestion of the raffle or auction. I just hope they know what they are doing to be worth it for them.

There is another recent thread here about charity quilts and how so many of them "go" for less than the cost of the materials in them at auctions, especially silent auctions. Raffles are so much better.....
