Organising a Tombola
A tombola is different from a raffle: there are very many more prizes; and
players pay to draw out a ticket for themselves and see whether the ticket number matches any of the prizes. If it does, they win the prize!
It's a great fundraiser at all sorts of fundraising occasions - especially those where children are present - for example:
- an autumn or Christmas fayre, or a bazaar or bring-and-buy sale
- a summer fete or garden party
- an added attraction at a games evening or buffet supper
Our tombola information pages aim to cover everything you need to know if you've never run a tombola before - or if you're looking for ways to raise more funds from a tombola than you did last time.
