Saw the other day a party had posted a quilt on Facebook and a couple other sites prior to a Labor Day raffle. It was on a couple quilt sites and throughout their small town. It was to help buy some extra equipment for first responders. It brought in Nearly $27500. More than their goal. It was a nice queen size quilt of a log cabin. It went so well they plan on having another. They hope to add a couple more. They Started the promotion right after the quilt was finished and right before Memorial Day. They had a fundraiser that weekend of the raffle that helped. They were delighted the party who won the quilt had never won anything before and it was her first quilt. She spent $10.00 on her raffle tickets. They promoted the raffle/fundraiser most of the summer and it was displayed in various business locations in the town. Those locations sold tickets and had business discount sales on their merchandise while the quilt was in their possession. They did a heck of a marketing for the quilt and the fundraiser.
