Well the point to any fundraiser is to make as much as you can, and organizers look for what might bring in the most cash. A beautiful quilt draws attention and often the best way to deal with it, is to sell raffle tickets. People donate a few bucks, hoping they will be the winner. if they win, they feel like they are the luckiest people in the world, but the organization feels great that they sold many tickets, thus making money for the organization. A quilt at one of our local shows, was valued at $1600, and I know hundreds of tickets were sold. I bought some! Didn't win though.
