The game continues with guests changing their prediction and the announcer tossing the coin until only one person is left standing. That person is the winner! Also known as a wine grab or cork pull, guests can purchase a ticket to select a pre-wrapped bottle of wine, which is displayed on a table with all the solicited bottles. Guests randomly select a bottle to take home in the hopes it may be worth more than the amount of the ticket.
Wine shopping for a good cause! Overall costs could include gift wrapping or boxes to send out the wine. To host a wine pull virtual ly , it might take a bit of additional shipping or delivery , but it can still be a fun surprise for your donors! Encourage donors to mail the wine bottles to one location by a certain date, and then sell wine pull tickets virtually.
Like a wine pull, there are pre-wrapped gifts chosen by your community, such as gift certificates, small electronics, apparel, etc. Guests pay a preset amount for each box and enjoy the surprise of discovering a fun gift inside.
The mystery box depends on donations, especially from local businesses, but there might be additional shipping or packaging costs to send the boxes to purchasers. Like the wine pull, this raffle can still be hosted virtually with a bit of additional organizing. Ask donors and local businesses to donate items for this mystery box and send them to one location by a certain date.
Your organization can sell tickets virtually, with a teaser of the type of items they might receive in the mystery box and pick randomly to send to those who purchase. This can be especially enticing for businesses in your community — they can provide a small donation for their company name to be included on your website and it spreads brand awareness for them with in your donor base.
Also known as a wishing tree or giving tree, the wish list allows guests to make donations at various levels or branches. Organizations and schools use this visual to raise funds for a specific cause. This is a donation opportunity, so it does not add any additional cost to the organization! A wish list or giving tree display can help give your donors a better understanding of where exactly their donations are going. Not for the faint of heart, and probably best for outdoor events, a balloon pop involves placing a number in each balloon and allowing guests to pop their balloons.
Guests pay to participate, pop the balloon, then find the prize or gift corresponding to their number. Prizes can be collected immediately or at checkout. A display, balloons, and darts will need to be purchased or donated for this game. Another game for wine lovers! Guests purchase a ticket for a chance to toss a ring around a wine bottle. If they make it then the wine is their prize.
You can solicit wine donations from donors, just as you would for a wine pull. A variation includes selling different levels of tickets for closer distances to the bottles or for multiple toss opportunities. A display and rings will need to be purchased or donated for this game.
Organizations sell tickets on their GiveSmart site, from a bidding assistant with an iPad at the event, or at a designated table at the event. Guests place their tickets in a bowl or container before the drawing later in the evening. The prize can be a donated auction item and you can set your raffle ticket prices based upon the fair market value of the item. Be sure to set a few rules about entering — does the guest need to be present to win? Many variations of this game exist.
You can find a few here at Greater Giving. Why should you draw the winner before the live auction? Because that person will be more likely to spend more since they just won! Yes, use green, because green is the color of money.
Try these 8 next-level silent auction strategies too. All it takes to play this fundraising game is a desirable item you might normally use in a raffle, and a green sharpie.
On each silent auction bid sheet, draw a green line or green box around one of the bid amounts. For anyone who bids that amount on any of your silent auction sheets, they get entered into a drawing for the prize.
So, the only people who get into the drawing are people who bid on the green line. Just by bidding on that line, they get in the drawing. So in theory, you could bid on the green line on ten different silent auction cards, get outbid every time and thus spend nothing, and yet still win the Thin Green Line drawing.
This is smart because it gives your attendees a reason to move farther down the bid sheet, thus increasing your silent auction revenue. BUT — you must explain this game to them. I went to one event where all the sheets had these green lines, but no one knew what they meant until halfway through the silent auction. The bigger the value, the more you can charge to play.
Simply put out a stack of boxes or envelopes or other containers , and put a prize or a winning ticket in one of them. Tell your guests either what the prize is, or the value of the prize if you want to keep it a secret. Guests can buy one or more boxes for a fixed price, and then they get to open them at some point in the event.
For variations, you could also put prizes in more than one box, or even in all the boxes, with most of them being low-cost fun prizes. This prompts other guests to ask them what the trinket is for, and will get more people to play.
Instead of pulling a name blindly, the spin-to-win animation adds excitement and hope to the game. When clients have 5 to 12 prizes to giveaway — clients will use spin-to-win to pick the prize. The wheel adds an element of excitement to the giveaway process. Players see all of the prizes going past. Put the attendees or the qualified attendees on the name wheel. Then spin the wheel to see whose name will be selected.
Attendees love watching the names slow down, hoping the wheel stops on their name. Tape a few Golden Tickets under the seats in your general session. Then, ask people to check to see if they are sitting in the location of a golden ticket. Bring the ticket holders on stage to spin the virtual prize wheel to see what prize they have won.
Some clients will allow people to spin the wheel a second time to see if they can win a better reward. Beware — the second spin could give them a less desirable prize than the first spin!

Donkey Basketball is just one of many ways to put a new spin on an old classic. You can just as easily add a unique twist to any sporting event.
