A Hole In One! Annual Summer Swing Charity Event

“Healing through Sports Foundation (HTSF) is a non-profit, public-benefit organization having the purpose of funding cancer research, patient services, and education programs focusing on prevention. By communicating the benefits of regular participation in physical activity and sporting events, we believe we can make a difference.”

~ James Johnson, HTSF

This July the Healing through Sports Foundation held its 9^th Annual Summer Swing Charity Event at the Tijeras Creek Golf Club in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. The event featured rounds of golf, a charity raffle, silent auction, cocktails, and a dinner buffet. Attendees could participate in a number of ways, from sending in a donation of a certain amount, buying raffle tickets, attending one or all of the events, to becoming one of the event sponsors.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society was chosen as the charity benefactor. The mission of LLS is to “cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.” The goal of the Summer Swing Charity Event was to raise at least $15,000 for the cause of curing blood cancers.

Along with the golf tournament, the charity fundraising event featured a Helicopter Ball Drop Raffle. In this type of raffle, numbered tickets are sold to participants. Then numbered golf balls are dropped from a helicopter above a specific spot on the golf course. The winner is determined by how close to the target, usually a tee or hole, the numbered golf ball lands. Proceeds from the raffle go to the designated charity.

For this event, the organizers chose the Golf Tournament Raffle Ticket. The ticket features a bright blue sky, a well tended green and a golf ball waiting on a tee to be put into play.  The ticket has room for information about the event and the raffle. An individually numbered, detachable stub allows organizers to keep track of tickets and prizes.

I asked James how the TicketPrinting.com raffle ticket benefited his particular event. He said, “It clearly communicated what our event was and what we were offering. Also, the quality of the product was outstanding!”

To sell event tickets, James and his team relied on several proven methods: “email, online, and in person.”  Reaching out through an email list or listserve to individuals who have had contact with the organization can be very rewarding when it is time to sell tickets. It also pays to maintain an up-to-date online source to disseminate information about the event and sell tickets. Whether an event organizer chooses to maintain a website dedicated to the event or a Facebook Event page, information should be relevant and drive attendees to the event. Leveraging personal contacts can also be very important when planning a similar event. The power of word of mouth sales cannot be underestimated.

What advice did James have for other event organizers? “Have plan and stick to it. A clear roadmap is the key to any successful event.” Real planning and dedication make big events like this possible and successful.

State by State: Raffle Law in America

Six weeks, six posts: today we present the conclusion to our fifty-state guide to US raffle law.

Outside Assistance?

In some cases, the law specifically prohibits licenses based on past transgressions. Indiana, for instance, takes a stand against repeat offenders by denying the right to run a raffle if the “applicant is not of good moral character or reputation; or…. The organization has engaged in fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.” Kentucky warns fundraisers that, while the state “provides a regulatory framework allowing charitable gaming to thrive as a viable fundraising mechanism,” organizations must be wary of for-profit corporations offering to oversee raffle and boost profits.

Kentucky legislation, “prohibits any individuals from receiving financial gain from charitable gaming activities,” and groups employing such tactic may lose their licenses in addition to being fined. The same holds true in Massachusetts, where “a for-profit entity cannot hold a raffle for itself or a nonprofit; and an individual cannot hold a raffle.”

Our State, Our Rules

California also opposes gambling activities for personal or business gain, but provides for charitable fundraising conducted in this way. Interested organization must register their intent to hold a raffle with the state, and must ensure that “at least 90 percent of the gross receipts from these raffles go directly to beneficial or charitable purposes in California.” Pay attention to the language! The money raised in California, it seems, must stay in California. In Pennsylvania, registration is only the first step: the state requires twelve distinct pieces of information regarding the raffle, including “The maximum odds of the game,” which it then publishes in a periodical called the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Seriously, Don’t Worry

Some laws are not as tough as they could be. While Mississippi exempts raffles from its definition of gambling and allows “any nonprofit civic, educational, wildlife conservation or religious organization with all proceeds going to said organization” to run such an event, the punishment for violating this law is not too extreme: anyone violating the law for personal gain “shall, on conviction, be fined not more than Twenty Dollars ($20.00), or be imprisoned not more than one (1) month in the county jail.” Nevada, the home of legalized gambling, naturally allows raffles while reserving the right “to license, tax, regulate, prohibit and suppress all tippling houses, dramshops, public card tables, raffles, hawkers, peddlers, pawnbrokers, gambling houses, disorderly houses and houses of ill fame.”

Surprising Details

It’s important to do your own research of course, as each state has its own quirks when it comes to raffle ticket laws. In New Hampshire, for instance, it’s imperative to choose your raffle ticket printing company carefully, as the law requires that each ticket has sequential numbering printed on the body of the ticket and “the name of the charitable organization thereon, the date and place of the drawing, and the prize or prizes to be awarded and the amount of the donation.” New Hampshire is also noteworthy is allowing minors 16 years old and up to buy raffle tickets. New Mexico offers special exceptions for movie theaters, which may offer “prizes of cash or merchandise for advertising purposes…for the purpose of stimulating business” with little oversight.

More Surprises

In New York, raffle tickets can be sold for six months prior to the drawing, but no earlier. New York also specifically prohibits minors from selling tickets, as well as purchasing them. On the opposite end of the spectrum, in Washington State, however, minors are allowed to sell raffle ticket in service of a group whose “primary purpose is the development of youth.” That state also largely prohibits the awarding of any type of liquor as a prize, as well as canceling the raffle in the event that you don’t sell enough tickets. In Texas, many types of organization are allowed to hold their own raffles, but they cannot operate cash raffles, and they cannot run more than one raffle at any given time.

Of course, state lotteries are a type of cash raffle, but did you know that some states conduct their own raffles for other purposes? In South Dakota, licenses to hunt elk are distributed through a raffle. Only winners may purchase the license.

Running a raffle for cash or prizes, for personal or charitable gain can be fun and rewarding. Just make sure to do your research, fill out the right forms, and pay any fees and taxes required. Are you ready? Why not start printing your own raffle tickets online, right now?

State by State: Raffle Law in America

Sweet and Simple

In our last installment, we discussed some of the harsher regulations regaring raffle law, but not every state takes such a minute interest in the particulars of your group’s fundraiser. In Maine, for instance, the laws are looser. For raffles with prizes in $10,000, many charitable organizations do not require licenses or oversight. In addition to those goodwill organization identified by most states, Maine includes “Any agricultural society eligible for the state stipend,” and “Any state agency that conducts or operates a raffle for a donated item to benefit fish and wildlife conservation projects” in their list of those exempt from requiring a license.

Many states require little oversight for smaller fundraising efforts. Nebraska limits profits of unregulated raffles to $5,000. Montana approves of “limited legal gambling” and includes raffles in its list of “legal live games.” While gambling is restricted to adults over the age of 18, in Montana, minors may participate in “raffles conducted by churches, schools, charitable and nonprofit organizations.”

No Big Deal

While there is oversight of raffle in South Carolina, law enforcement agencies are instructed to “not charge a charitable, religious, or eleemosynary organization conducting a raffle for the benefit of the organization where all the proceeds inure to the benefit of the organization,” but rather to issue those who run afoul of the law with written warnings. For small raffles being run in the state of Virginia, the law is fairly relaxed. In general an organization “that reasonably expects, based on prior charitable gaming annual results or any other quantifiable method, to realize gross receipts of $40,000 or less” in their raffle need not worry overmuch about the law. In addition, volunteer fire departments and other volunteer first responders are exempt from registration and auditing fees.

One state that enthusiastically supports the right of charitable organization to use raffles for fundraising purposes is Wisconsin. The state’s administrative website proudly states, “Raffles are Wisconsin s favorite and most profitable form of grassroots fund-raising.” According to this site,  “Well over 7,500 groups are licensed to conduct raffles and net profits from this activity have remained steady at nearly 60%.” In Wisconsin, a raffle license costs only $25 per year, which authorizes the holder to run up to 200 raffles every year.

State by State: Raffle Law in America

In the previous installment of our series on raffle law, we discussed taxes and eclectic rules. Today, what happens if you fail to follow those rules?

Crime and Punishment

Failure to comply with state law can result in fines and incarceration. In North Carolina, conducting an illegal raffle is a misdemeanor, and the punishment includes a prohibition: the guilty party “shall not conduct a raffle for a period of one year.” West Virginia provides for charitable gaming and fundraising, but calls for penalties and fines for any person involved in any sort of raffle for personal gain. In Ohio, a first offense against state raffle regulations is also a misdemeanor, but subsequent violations are considered felonies, while Rhode Island makes the first offense a felony, with penalties up to two years in prison and $2000 in fines!

How Long Have You Been Doing This?

Often, the right to hold a raffle is restricted only to certain charities. For instance, Minnesota allows raffles only for educational fundraising. Such raffles “may only be sold and the drawing conducted at a high school event sponsored by a school district” to adults over the age of 18, and all profits must remain in the school district. Arkansas outlawed raffles for many years, but recently amended its state constitution to allow, “non-profit tax-exempt religious, educations, veterans, fraternal, service, civic, medical, volunteer rescue service, volunteer firefights organization, or volunteer police organization…in continuing existence…for a period of not less than five years,” the right to raise money in this way.

Illinois has a similar law: “Licenses shall be issued only to bona fide religious, charitable, labor, business, fraternal, educational or veterans’ organizations that operate without profit to their members and which have been in existence continuously for a period of 5 years.”  Five years is also the minimum length of existence necessary to hold a raffle in Michigan.

Georgia is another state that specifically prohibits brand-new organizations from holding raffles. In Georgia, a charitable organization must be “in existence for 24 months immediately prior to the issuance of the license,” which costs no more than $100 and is good until the end of the calendar year. Applicants must register with the sheriff in the year prior to requiring the license. Louisiana also requires that groups wishing to run charitable games be “actively domiciled in Louisiana for two consecutive years immediately preceeding [sic] application.” Louisiana fundraisers are also required to attend state-sponsored training classes and purchase supplies from licensed suppliers. Plan ahead!

What Constitutes a Charity?

Connecticut also spells out the types of groups who may apply for a permit to conduct a raffle: “Educational or charitable, civic, service or social clubs, fraternal or fraternal benefit societies, veterans’, church or religious organizations, volunteer fire departments or political parties or town committees.” The price of the permit varies, depending on the type you may require. For instance, the state identifies “Cow-Chip” raffles, “Duck-Race” raffles, and “Frog-Race” raffles.

Maryland law specifies, “a bona fide charitable organization in this State may conduct a raffle for the exclusive benefit of the charitable organization if the prize awarded is real property,” but that real property raffles may only be held twice a year. Missouri, which heavily regulates any form of gambling, allows only “groups recognized under federal law as charitable or religious” to conduct raffles. This relatively new law was approved as recently as 1998 while New Jersey almost seems to brag that their Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission oversees “approximately 12,000 charitable, educational, religious, patriotic, public-spirited organizations and senior citizen associations and clubs organizations” in conducted legalized games of chance.

State by State: Raffle Law in America

Raffle Law and State’s Rights

When our forefathers outlined our American rights in the US Constitution over two hundred years ago, they specifically stated that those topics not covered in that document were reserved for the individual states to decide: state’s rights. This term often brings to mind some of the most controversial issues in our culture.

Raffles and lotteries, technically a form of gambling, fall squarely into this category. Raffle laws vary from state to state, with prize draws of any kind being completely outlawed in some places, and generally embraced in others.

Fundraisers Beware: Illegal Raffles

In some states, games of chance featuring prizes and requiring purchase are strictly prohibited whether you are a private individual, incorporated business, or not-for-profit charitable organization. In Alabama, the state constitution includes language to “prohibit the sale…of…tickets in any scheme in the nature of a lottery.” According to the Attorney General, raffle tickets are a type of lottery, and therefore illegal. In the state of Utah, “The Legislature shall not authorize any game of chance, lottery or gift enterprise under any pretense or for any purpose,” including any kind of raffle or prize draw.

Hawaii also prohibits any type of raffle in which tickets are sold. However, it is legal to distribute tickets without charging for them, so you can still have the fun of a prize draw as long as you don’t earn any money from it. The same holds true in Kansas, where exchanging money for games of chance is strictly illegal, but the District Attorney’s office suggests that such rules can be circumventing by making the contribution voluntary. To comply with state regulations, make it clear that “Individuals are under no obligation to make a contribution and may not be barred from participation if they choose not to make any donation.”

Changing Nation, Changing Laws

In general, raffle law seems to be relaxing in America. As stated in part I of this article, many states that forbid any raffle ticket sales in the past have recently passed legislation allowing such games of chance. Oklahoma is one that state that previously banned any raffle-based fundraising, then relaxed restrictions in 2003, allowing charitable organizations to conduct raffles. Even Washington, DC has its own Lottery and Charitable Games Control Board, responsible for licensing Bingo, Monte Carlo/casino nights, and, of course, raffles.

The trend seems to be toward greater tolerance of raffle ticket sales, and printing raffle tickets is useful in the majority of the US. However, private individual should be aware that many states, such as Wyoming, strictly prohibit selling raffle tickets for personal gain: only bona fide charitable organizations are legally allowed to run raffles in many places. If you are unfamiliar with your local laws, it’s best to find a local expert who can provide up-to-date information.

Paperwork in Order

Registering with the state is often a requirement, and in some cases, the state must approve your proposal. In Arizona, raffles fall under the umbrella of “Amusement Gambling” and must be approved on a case-by-case basis. You can fill out a form to register. In the state of Delaware, the cost of applying for your raffle license is $15 (the same price to apply for a license to hold a Texas Hold’em tournament), which is non-refundable if your application is denied. Timing is important! Applications are considered at board meetings, and applicants are advised to submit, “no later than 4:30 PM ten full working days before the meeting date.”

Florida is another state where raffles are highly regulated. The state wishes to protect its citizens from fraudulent or illegal raffles, but, more importantly, to prevent competition with its state lottery, which is an educational one: that is to say, proceeds fund the state’s schools. North Dakota maintains a list of downloadable forms required for a legal prize draw to be held in that state. Interested parties should pay careful attention, for record-keeping is important, and these forms make it simpler to keep track of details.

Conducting a Local Raffle or Prize Draw in Full Compliance with State Regulations

Your organization wants to earn more money to support your cause, but you don’t want to run afoul of state ordinance regarding fundraising. That’s why it’s important to conduct your research in advance to ensure that you are running your business or charity raffle according to the rules. In addition, good planning up front will pay off in the long run. Keeping all your affairs in order will help you out later when you are preparing your taxes or planning another prize draw!

In addition, staying in touch with your legal responsibilities will come in handy when you’re ready to print your own raffle tickets and start selling them.

I. Are Raffles Legal in My State? Getting Started, Staying Safe

Raffles are effective ways organizations of all kinds can raise money, but raffles are not legal in some states. It is imperative to check on whether it is legal or not in your state, but also to be clear on the details of the raffle laws in those states where raffles are legal.

Just a few years ago, a web search would have revealed a number of states where any raffles were considered an illegal, unlicensed form of gambling, but in many cases these laws have been relaxed. Today, your search would reveal sources explaining that raffles are completely are complete illegal only the following states: Alabama and Hawaii. Be aware, though, that according to this source, there are states where raffles have only recently become legal. There are also states where there is little or no online information about laws regarding raffles. Other sources add Hawaii and Kansas to the list. It depends on what you consider a raffle, and how you organize.

• • Be thorough and clear. It may be a good idea to consult with a legal expert before beginning your organization’s raffle prize fundraiser. The bigger your organization or prize draw, the more important it will be that you ask a lawyer for advice, or make sure that you’ve followed all the necessary procedures.
• • The first step in this process is determining whether or not it is legal in your state. The second step is to familiarize yourself with your state’s law on raffles. The inability to do these things may result in your organization breaking the law and would result in legal ramifications.
• • States may also require a Raffle License Application for the raffle to take place. Again, be sure to study the laws and the steps necessary to operate your raffle legally in your state.

In the United States, many raffles only possess legality if the proceeds go to charitable causes. This is a fairly common element in United States raffle laws, and should be a major consideration in your business or organization’s raffle ticket event. Again, be sure to gain knowledge and seek legal counsel regarding your state’s rules and regulations.

If you can’t afford legal counsel, how can you become familiar with your state’s laws? TicketPrinting.com offers a complete page of references, state by state, so you can begin familiarizing yourself with the proper steps. You can also run your own Internet searches or contact a local governmental agency for more information. Remember, advice you receive online may not always be accurate or up-to-date! It’s a good idea to pick up the phone and call the state gaming commission whenever you’re in doubt.

Learning more about the local laws will pay off, so don’t hesitate to spend some time researching them. It’s a bit of an esoteric subject, and a little research will transform you into an expert on local law. You’ll become a helpful resource to any organization that requires fundraising help.

TicketPrinting.com is please to announced our new, improved resource for local raffle laws.

While states’ rights may be hotly disputed when it comes to some controversial issues, they’re alive and well in the realm of prize draws. Every state in the union (along with Washington, D.C.) has its own particular laws governing the sale of raffle tickets and games of chance. Depending on where you live, selling raffle tickets may be a free-for-all, a carefully governed option for certain non-profit organizations under the strict auspices of the state gaming commission, or just downright illegal. (And even then, at least one DA has written up guidelines for circumventing these rules.)

We recognize that our customers are working hard to earn more money for their particular causes. The last thing you need is a legal hassle. That’s why we’ve compiled links to help direct you to the statutes for your area, and, in some cases, the downloadable PDF files that you’ll need to fill out to get your permit and start selling raffle tickets!

Printing raffle tickets is easy at TicketPrinting.com, and our state raffle law resource helps makes your job even easier.

Want a Successful School Event? Choose Tyvek Wristbands

You’re not sure what your classroom budget is going to be this year, but you are sure it won’t be enough. As you look out over the faces of your young students sounding out words and carefully calculating math problems, you wish you could give them something more to reinforce their education.  Whether you want to raise the money for extra books, school supplies or creative materials, holding a fundraising event using custom printed wristbands can be key to bringing cash into your classroom.

A School Carnival

Paper bracelets or Tyvek Wristbands go hand in hand with your fundraising plans, especially if you’re planning a school carnival. A carnival is a traditional choice for a school fundraiser. It is the type of event that opens the doors of the school to the community. Individuals get to see the cause they are donating to, and faculty and students get a chance to show off their place of learning to the public. As an added bonus, school carnivals are just plain fun!

Security and Safety

Making sure that an event on school grounds is secure and safe should be a top priority of any planning committee. Tyvek wristbands can help you reach this goal. Somewhere between paper and plastic, these wristbands fit snugly around your attendees wrists. They cannot be transferred or removed without being cut off, so you can rest assured that the right folks are at your event.

Event wristbands are available in several colors. You can set aside ones for faculty and staff, parents, students and friends of the school. When individuals see the colored wristbands, they can easily identify the type of relationship an individual has to the school.

Raffles

Your school carnival will likely have games, food, student performances and displays. Another big draw might be door prizes or raffles, based on wristband numbering. In order to save additional money, you may want to solicit a local vendor or merchant sponsor the event by donating a prize. Prizes can be big or small. What counts is the spirit behind them and the enthusiasm with which your attendees participate.

Because event wristbands can be securely numbered, they can serve a dual purpose at your event.  They will help to keep your event secure, but they will also double as a raffle ticket. Each guest with an event wristband gets a chance at the prize.  And, they won’t run the risk of losing their chance at the raffle.

Guests can feel safe participating in carnival games and rides. The Tyvek wristbands will stay securely around their wrists no matter how many rounds of skee ball they play. They can even take a few rounds in the dunk tank because these event wristbands are waterproof!

Your Students are Worth It

It’s easy and cost effective to design and print custom wristbands. Event wristbands can be customized with your school’s logo making them unique and memorable.  Not only will members of your school’s community have a fun time, you’ll be earning money so that you can buy the much needed extras the budget may not cover this year.

Whether your school is putting on a fundraiser carnival and you want to get all the parents, teachers and students involved, or you're touring with your new band and want to see plenty of faces at the venue, you'll need to manage a campaign that will generate interest in your event. Throughout the course of your promotion, you might manage an online marketing plan, rely on word or mouth, or print event tickets, posters, flyers, invitations, and other promotional materials that raise your visibility.

Online marketing helps you reach a wider audience, share details and market event tickets. Buzz generated by friends, family and fans is  great for grassroots marketing, and physical collateral gives your event a real world presence. These promotional materials, especially event tickets, can be the most powerful tools in your marketing plan.

More than Just an Event Ticket

Take a moment to consider event tickets. Obviously, you'll need admission tickets to get folks through the turnstiles, but that's not their only use. Custom printed tickets can serve several important functions at your event.

Marketing Tools—When you design event tickets for your occasion, you have a choice. If you're thinking only of function, any tickets will do. However, the admission ticket may be your attendees first point of contact with your event. So much more can be included than a simple "admit one." Imagine how including formal branding and event details can raise profile of your event.

Crowd Management and Tracking Tools—Secure, numbered tickets with perforated stubs can be useful in the management of people into and out of your event and at particular venues within it. Custom tickets allow you to maintain the integrity of your event. Secure numbering and detachable stubs allows you to track the flow of guests into the gates. Selling Drink Tickets and custom passes, such as VIP passes, before the event allow you to manage concessions and activities quickly and safely. They allow you to keep cash exchanges more centralized and secure.

Raffle Management—A well designed ticket is essential for the management of a fundraising raffle.  It's important for your raffle tickets to not only contain important details, but they should also have secure numbering, detachable stubs and room for the guests' details, as well. These tickets aren't just meant to get guests through the gate. They're used to manage the entire lifecycle of the raffle. Event organizers can track ticket buyers through the numbering system, and the stubs are used for the raffle draw.

Door Prizes—Much like raffle tickets, a well designed admission ticket can be used to manage door prizes. Ticket sellers can hold onto stubs when guests come through the gate and announce winners throughout the event. This encourages folks to hold onto their custom event tickets throughout the occasion.

Memory Management—A great ticket might be the only souvenir a guest takes away from the occasion. Why not make it memorable? Strong imagery and branding will help the memory of your event to remain with your guests far into the future.

Ready to write your own ticket? Some event promoters are born; others are promoted.

If you fall into the latter category, planning events because it’s your job, rather than your passion, you may find yourself throwing programs together with less and less enthusiasm, and, as a consequence, see your attendance wane. Your guests may simply be bored with the same old party, in which case you won't be able to give event tickets away.

For instance, consider the case of one after-school program for teens. In a pinch, the organizers would throw together arts and crafts party until every kid in the community was tired of arts and crafts, and indeed, no one wanted a free ticket. Taking this event to the next level breathed new life into it. The arts and crafts party became a Surrealist Soiree.

*  Event “A” Becomes Event “B”: Taking an arts and crafts afterschool program and turning it into something unique, fun, and special started with event tickets. Teens earned tickets to the Surrealist Soiree by completing tasks such as reading a book. An online event ticket template allowed organizers to print surreal tickets that included a puzzle piece: a clue for a game during the upcoming event. Images, such as the melting clocks in surrealist artist Salvador Dali’s painting, The Persistence of Memory become a part of a game where teens matched the clue on their event tickets to the correct painting to earn a prize.

*  Surreal Snacks: It wouldn’t be a party for teens without food. At the Surrealist Soiree, the event tickets were also clues to one of the snacks at the party: Random Cupcakes. Take a basic cupcake to the next level by adding random objects to the top. The teens matched the images on their event tickets with a detail from a cupcake to earn a prize. Or try Picasso punch using ice cube molds of noses, hands, and mouths to create a Cubist beverage.

*  Surreal Games: “Pin the Ear on Van Gogh” is a unique recharge of the popular party game, “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” which furthers the surrealist theme of the branded arts and crafts party.

*  Surreal Crafts: Inkblots were a huge success. Using an eyedropper, teens dribbled India ink onto thick paper and folded it to create an inkblot design. The teens then performed the Rorschach test on one another, earning points and prizes for the most surreal and creative descriptions of the inkblot. This continued into mini surrealist poems, or an Exquisite Corpse game, where a piece of paper was passed around and each teen added a line to make a very surreal poem.

*  Event Tickets: Another function for the event tickets can be a raffle at the end of the party. You can print separate raffle tickets online, or just use the numbers on your event ticket stubs. Crown the winners King and Queen of the Surreal with a gift basket of wacky and toys and candies for the prize.

Creating something new and exciting turned an ill-received event into a popular, well-attended one. The custom designed event tickets were easily created and printed, and provided a special air: the event could only be attended by select teens who earned a ticket.

Recharge a tried-and-true event that has run its course: get creative and take that tired event to the next level.
