The US Post Office will not give a break and/or special rate for the mailing costs ..... thus the reason for this yearly quilt fundraiser raffle.

The tickets are $1.00 each - or - 6 tickets for $5.00. I bought $5.00 worth of tickets .... and honestly was going to buy more tickets as the sale went on, until the raffle was held. They sold over $5,000 worth of tickets and one day I got a phone call ..... that I had won the 2009 Quilts of Valor.

I believe the more attractive the price of tickets are .... the more tickets are sold .... thus the more $$$ are raised.
