To my knowledge, raffles are considered gambling, and are therefore are illegal in California. I only speak of California, and if I'm wrong, alert me to it immediately.

there are always ways around the rules. if "raffles" are illegal, then hold a "donation fundraiser" where all the people interested give a donation (it's good to have a suggested donation i.e. the ticket price) then, as a result of their donation they recieve a ticket which gives them the opportunity to possibly win a "free" car, as a way of saying "thank you" from the team.
of course, if you don't want to bend some rules, serious gravelling is always good. never underestimate the power of kissing up to somebody. |

http://www.svcn.com/archives/sunnyva...8/Raffles.html Not saying that no teams in California do it, but I wouldn't. I'm philosophically opposed to gambling. <edit> heh... http://primary2000.ss.ca.gov/VoterGuide/pdf/17.pdf Guess it's okay if you're a charitable organization? </edit> Last edited by FotoPlasma : 19-11-2002 at 11:10. |

Car Raffle
About these car raffles...
As a school, we have numerous vehicles that have been donated for use by the auto shop by both manufacturers and dealers. We have a 1997 Ford Windstar (good condition), a 2002 Chevrolet Astro conversion van (originally bound for Tokyo, but involved in a minor front-end collision while rolling off the assembly line), a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier 4-door (excellent condition), and a 1997 Infiniti Q45 (excellent condition) donated from factory or dealer in addition to a few cars that have been donated (read: abandoned) by individuals. Last year, while short on funds, someone raised the question of auctioning or selling these cars. The sea of paperwork involved in just applying for authorization from the school board was astounding, then the whole other side of applying for rights to the revenue...I think you're getting the drift. The school board is not the robotics team's friend. |
