Thank you for this list, I've written and emailed over 40 companies the last two weeks and have 2 yes's. Ugh! This is my first year with a child in school so my first experience with an auction and I feel like a total failure. It's close to 2 months out now and I don't know how much more I can do. I attach our letterhead, 501(c)3 ID number, and a kind request of donation in addition to our event information and I think I write an overly polite letter. Any suggestions?! I'm in the Seattle area.
If you are looking for some basket themes, feel free to check out my favorite raffle basket board on Pinterest. I have pinned pictures of actual baskets that I made for my school raffle that were very successful! Might give you some ideas:) Feel free to ask any questions about particular baskets!
