Raffles are a good Idea.............
You can also do a split the pot raffle where 1/2 of the money goes to the winner and the other half goes to the one doing the raffle.......that way you are not out any money to start.......
However.......if you can get a business to donate the item you are raffling, you are not out anything either.....
Some of the best raffles I have seen are multiple winners........get local businesses to donate dinners, sporting goods, gift certificates, etc.............have multiple pulls and multiple winners.......sometimes people are more likely to purchase tickets if they think they have more than one chance to win.......
Also, make sure you reconize any business that gives you anything............a letter of thanks goes a long way in their eyes..........
