Just over a week left in this, I hope everyone has their tickets!
I'm in. Thank you for the reminder, Matt.
Our son had to spend a fair amount of time in the hospital until a couple of years ago. As a parent, there are obviously a lot of things that you worry about, but you cannot put yourself into their little head to begin to understand how scary and difficult the experience is for them...and it breaks your heart. I will never forget our son being in the ER and catching sight of a toy at the nurses station from a TV show that he didn't even like. All he knew was that it was a toy and at that point it was probably the only thing that he could relate to.

I wish the children’s hospital that I work for would have such a cool fundraiser. I’ve got my ticket. As an old man once yelled at me: ‘You can’t win if you don’t have a ticket!’
Thank you so much!
BTW, you can PM me about connecting our organization with your hospital - we collaborate with many out of state facilities

Just a thought: Some companies will match employee donations to charities. I don't think my employer will match this because the receipt shows I bought raffle tickets. Maybe if it showed as a donation and the raffle tickets were a "gift" it would work? Not sure if that's possible or not.

I could go on and on...
Thank you so much for your generosity and sharing a personal experience.
A gift for a hospitalized child is the opportunity for them to forget for a few minutes that they are isolated from their friends and family stuck in a hospital because they need to get better and the chance for them to have a “normal” kid moment.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find
