As usual I have a different opinion than everyone else. We have done
well in raffle donations this year. Giving a second place prize for the
raffle is really a "feel good" action based on that success. Instead of
a second place prize that would go to anybody, if we want to do
something additional to "feel good" or "celebrate our success" I would
rather ensure the prize to go to some deserving/disadvantaged child.
This would have to be in the form of a direct donation to a local
Christmas Mother, Elementary School PTA, or church group. For example,
when my wife was an elementary school counselor in Powhatan, the PTA
there did do clothing and toy donations to deserving kids the school
identified. This could also be a photo op showing a club officer making
the donation to an organization that we could put on our Facebook and
web pages.
