We are looking for some help from the raffle guru's. Things here at the shelter are getting desperate. Ferrets come in, but they aren't going out very fast. Anyone need another fuzzie??? We both (mom & dad) work full time jobs (plus ot), and have little time for much else, other than taking care of the shelter. We do education at local pet stores a couple times each month, but that does little to help defray the costs of running the shelter. Neither of us are handy at sewing or making crafts to raise money, and neither are any good at begging. And the few grants we have tried for, always send us a nice letter, but that is it. (we've got plenty of scratch paper now) So I thought we could have a raffle, and introduce people to some of Maine's most famous residents. Lobsters!! Lobsters and clams shipped to anywhere in the country, to help the kids in the shelter. What could be better? But alas, I have no idea how to run a raffle over the net. Who provides the numbers, how they are assigned, who draws the numbers, etc. We are 501c3 Non-profit, State licensed and inspected, and just live to help the ferrets. Can you help us to help them? Anyone with any ideas how to run a fair and legal raffle to raise money for the shelter, please feel free to email on the FML or privately.
