For every ticket that the kids sell, they get a portion off the cost of the Shabbaton. This helps the kids foot the cost and also raises money for the organization involved. I have a product, personalized ceramic mezuzot, that has been used as a fundraiser with a good deal of success, for a few Jewish organizations. Be well, Michael A. Goldberg. At the end of evening you pull out one dollar and the lucky winner gets half of the money.
People can enter as many times as they want.
It became a custom and some would wait for our breakfast instead of eating at home. You can also sell during a carwash. I like Avi's idea of letting the kids earn their scholorship money by selling raffles. I might have to steal it. MIchelle Levin Ft.
