So the Raffle was on Saturday - Oh my gosh that took some organising in the final few hours. I had prizes and baby clothes coming out of my ears. I was in such a faffle trying to organise it all - i didn't realise how impossible it was going to be with an almost 8 month old....actually a snotty almost 8 month old that insisted on trying to touch and cover all the clean clothes in snot and drool!!
I have to say a huge Thank you to my two good Friends Mandy (above left with Lilia) and Ruth for coming to rescue by coming round Friday and helping me sort through everything. Also Little Nanny took Finny for the afternoon. Even after Mandy and Ruth had long gone home, Chris, my mum and myself were up until 1am getting the final touches together - this included double folding over 800 tickets!!
The raffle couldn't have gone better - We ended up going with the old Tombola style as this was easier for us to keep in line with the rules and regulations set out by the lottery and Gambling big wigs and also easier for us as we had so many wonderful prizes. I just wish we had more time as by the end of the sale we still had lots of prizes left over so I am busy working on my next event!!
In total the Raffle and Sale raised a grand total of £353.61 - not bad for 2 hours work, this is all going into the pot for Headstart4babies!
To my surprise the Herald Photographer turned up again to take some pictures and to run an article in the Eastbourne Gazette which can also be found online here: http://www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/news/local/raffle-and-clothes-sale-s-welcome-boost-to-charity-1-5545065 , so a big thankyou to the Herald once again for keeping the issue highlighted and following our progress!
Secondly, a huge Thank you to Karen and Sarah who run the BumbleBee Nearly new sales for letting us have the charity Stall.
Thirdly, a huge Thank you to all our sponsors for your generous donations which without these no raffle would have taken place - So a massive massive thank you!
Below is a list of Winners from Saturday. If any of our sponsors read this and wonder where your donation is - its in the spare room waiting for the next event!
