Creative community raffle ideas for fundraising

[MatthewER]

We're looking for creative community raffle ideas for an upcoming fundraiser. I want something more interesting than just selling tickets for generic prizes. What types of raffles have you seen work well in community settings? I'm thinking about experiences rather than things, or maybe themed baskets that tell a story. How do you make raffles feel fair and transparent? Also, any tips for promoting ticket sales without being pushy? I want this to be fun and community-building, not just about the money.
