Spend the Day With Your Feet Up
This is particularly well suited to high schools. Students purchase raffle tickets for a drawing where the winner is allowed to spend one school day with their “feet up”. The winner is allowed to use a recliner at school or work on the specified day. Arrangements should be made ahead of time to move the chair between classes or meetings. You could also sell an “upgraded” raffle ticket that allowed the winner to be pushed in the chair between classes. Of course, this would require the chair to be on wheels or a dolly. This same raffle could be done several times a year, perhaps even monthly. You could chose one classroom or meeting room to have a recliner full-time and sell time slots to use the chair on a regular basis. This raffle combines well with other raffle style fundraisers. While a raffle might be the fairest method for a school, in certain workplaces an auction might be appropriate, especially when combined with other fundraising style auctions.
