I’ll second talking with the cancer unit. They may have funds available to help out.
Some fund raising events are extremely time users and hard to get people to volunteer: quilt show.
As someone said, members tend to buy the raffle tickets for opportunity quilt. Fun to make but find the committee to raise money befor making the quilt. As a member I hated selling the tickets and just donated the cost of tickets. As a prolific quilter I didn’t want to win another quilt.
The easiest, most fun and definitely profitable fund raiser I saw was a member raffle of UFO’s and orphan blocks. What happened was the planned program was cancelled 1 wk prior to the event. An e-announcement went out there would be a raffle. We thought maybe 2 tables would hold all the stuff. 10 tables later, all of the stuff could be squished onto the tables. Paper bags were put at each item. 5 tickets/$1.00. We had 3 persons drawing tickets with 6 runners to hand out stuff. It took 1 hour to distribute all the stuff. LAUGHTER!!!! A quick, painless $300.
Orphan blocks were $.25 each.
