The concept centers around assembling themed collections of items, often treats, toys, and decorations, related to the Halloween holiday. These collections are then offered as prizes in a raffle, typically to raise funds for a specific cause, organization, or event. For example, a basket could contain candy, Halloween-themed movies, spooky socks, and small toys, with tickets sold for a chance to win it.
Such raffles provide a fun and engaging way to generate revenue for schools, charities, and community groups. They offer a festive alternative to more traditional fundraising methods and foster a sense of community participation. Historically, raffles have been used for centuries as a method of fundraising and distributing goods, evolving into a popular element of holiday celebrations like Halloween.
