Question RAFFLES ILLEGAL???

I've never heard such a thing about raffles. We don't hold raffles in the school btw, that isn't allowed, but otherwise i don't think that there is anything wrong with it.
In the way of getting the stuff to raffle, we do a lot of networking. Networking is an art, the ability to talk to companies, talk to the most imprtant people and get people interested enough to want to donate. Companys LOVE to donate stuff to FIRST for many reasons. So when u write letters to these companys, be optimistic about it and just keep pushing. Don't get discouraged by the size of the companys, because no matter how big a company is there is always room for things like this.
