Most of these have to benefit a "charitable" organization. We are already
non-profit, and charity begins at home, so I say "Go for it!" (but don't let
anybody know).
I think there are tax issues if a for-profit company holds a raffle, such as
Carlisle Promotions. Rick is working with them to figure it all out.
