I don't know what the laws are in other states but i don't think that raffling off donated items is illicit. (atleast not here in NY, in my school). earlier in the thred u would read what highschools do to prevent illicit raffling.

Raffling items for the benefit of charitable and educational organizations is a legal form of fund-raising in New York State.

We are familiar with the law in this case and are operating within its confines.

Rather than spread our business foolishly about the Internet, if you have any further concerns regarding the procedures, legiticimacy or practice of this raffle, please contact me in private via the Private Message feature. I will be more than happy to answer questions.

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.

I don' think raffles are illegal in CA. I have sold tickets for my classes that were for raffles sponsored by the Lion's Club (Or something like that) im pretty sure they are not illegal, but I also may be wrong.

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.

I doubt that would hold up.

Not saying that no teams in California do it, but I wouldn't. I'm philosophically opposed to gambling.

Guess it's okay if you're a charitable organization?

No it does hold up, in fact thats what Az schools tell you to do if you come along one of those situations. Or you could always do what I suggested a first, to sell candy. When they buy the candy they recieve a free ticket for a prize winning drawing, its that easy.

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.
