Did you know that when you offer a raffle prize for one of my fundraisers, I genuinely do my best to give that support back? ❤️
If you donate a class… you can pretty much guarantee I’ll be booking myself onto one 😂
If you donate flowers… the next time I need a bunch, I’ll be coming to you 💐
If you offer a service… I’ll remember your business when I need that service myself.
Giving to charity is an amazing thing to do, but as a business owner myself, I also understand that businesses are there to earn a living. Every prize donated has a value and ultimately comes out of somebody’s pocket.
That’s also why I never shy away from offering my own services to other people’s raffles and fundraisers.
I’ve donated parties worth £175, mascot visits worth £45 and candy floss & popcorn packages worth around £200 because I believe support should go both ways. ❤️
Recently I reached out to a local business about donating a raffle prize. They didn’t say no they explained that they already had several raffles and charity events booked in and would check whether they could manage another.
That alone was enough for me to say, “Thank you so much for considering us, but please don’t worry this time.”
Because I get it. You can’t give to absolutely everybody, and nobody should ever feel pressured to.
So I just want to say a HUGE thank you to every single person and business who has already offered a prize for my latest raffle.
I know how much those donations are worth to you, and I genuinely appreciate every single one.
And wherever I can, I’ll always try to return that support. ❤️
Thank you for helping me help others. 🫶
