The ULTIMATE Donation List

@ Donna C.
Mu son's elementary school actually had the state legal games of chance control commission along with non uniformed police officers and willing fathers to walk around to make sure they weren't dumping tickets, we had to put one ticket at a time. Also, any pre-sale tickets had to picked up the night of the auction and they had officers in the parking lot to make sure people weren't finding out the colors and getting tickets from their cars. Apparently it was a ring of mothers in our area that went around and did this to sell the won items on ebay.

A lot of is were pretty upset that this was going on- that is horrible to do to any charity but especially your kid's school.

Hi Everyone,

I just was sent this message from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
(Cuisinart Public Relations)

Thank you for thinking of Cuisinart. Due to budgetary restraints, we are unable to send product donations to school fundraisers. We receive numerous requests such as this one and cannot possibly fulfill them all.



Good luck with your event.

Hi Donna,

I also had trouble getting a room in Florida. Once I received the Disney passes, I included in my letter the following:

Disney World, generously donated tickets to our auction; I am hoping to create a travel package by putting together the tickets with a hotel stay.

General Manager Name, would you please donate a 1 or 2 night stay to our annual fund raising auction?



I goggled General Manager of hotel found their email and sent it directly to the GM.

I did have success – 2 night stay. :)

Good Luck
Susan

The list is on page 113. Most contacts are easily found on the internet. It isn't by any means a complete list and should be used as an idea board.

Good luck everyone.

We've been trying for a hotel donation as well. We have sent out about 40 letters and emails and about 1/2 have already responded that they have given out all donations. Our event is in early February. We are in Georgia, so Disney is only 4 hours away. We have the hopper passes as well and are trying to create a package with a hotel stay. Sea World does not donate outside of Florida unless you have proof of a hotel stay and Universal no longer donates outside of Florida (this is according to the info they emailed to me).

If you have any luck with hotels, please message me. Would love to have the info.

At my church we have a basket raffle at each of our fundraisers. We purchase rolls of tickets - (double tickets rolls) the cheapest I have found is MK Brody in Chicago. The rolls are 3.99 for 2,000 tickets. At each function during the year, we use a different color ticket.

No one can come to the event and "cheat" by printing their own tickets.
