My DD takes care of the Giving Tree at Christmas in our county. She has done this for 20 years. Started when she was 12. One year someone donated a pair of football tickets (the Packers. very hard to come by) She raffled them and made $1500! The lady that won them is a Nun at our local hospital. She in turn raffled them. She sold 250 tickets at $10 a ticket. The money went to our hospice program. They were all gone in one day. That pair of Packer tickets generated $4000 for charity!!! I'm not saying a quilt will do as well, but she should be able to make more than $200. How about 100 tickets at $5 per. Tell your DIL to make sure she gets the quilt out and seen by as many people as possible. Banks are a good place to display and most are willing to help cheritable causes.
