I spy charity quilt

my 9 year-old grandson and I were watching tv and seen the add for St. Jude's Research hospital, he started asking questions about what cancer is etc, I told him and explained what wonderful things SJRH does and how we can help. So we decided to make a quilt using the I spy charms I got in the QB swap and raffle it with the goal to raise $350 to send to St. Judes. He is so excited. I'm going to get it quilted Monday.

That's wonderful! What a good way to turn a difficult conversation to have with a child into a positive opportunity. Do you have a venue for selling the raffle tix? I'd definitely buy to help him reach his goal.
