<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Raffles are a much-loved part of the school experience and can be a significant fundraising asset for the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can also be an organisational headache: managing ticket sales, handling money, not to mention promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why so many schools are ditching the old-school printed tickets and cash sales method of running raffles in favour of My School Connect \u2013 a cashless payment platform with a raffle module that makes running your school raffle a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy and convenient school raffles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My School Raffle<\/a> is a unique school-parent communication platform that offers easy cashless payments for school raffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? It takes the hassle out of running a raffle, allowing your school to focus on raising funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My School Raffle is completely cashless, so there\u2019s no need to handle money, organise change or manually issue receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole process is done online, eliminating the need to print and keep track of ticket sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents also love not having to fill out details on every individual ticket and make sure they don\u2019t lose the stubs before the raffle is drawn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple, customisable school raffles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Raffle pages can be customised to align with your school\u2019s branding and particular requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My School Raffle features promotional functionality, which means your school can promote the raffle through email and social media, as well as other resources to ensure you maximise your fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real-time dashboard allows you to track ticket sales and money raised, and at the end of the raffle, a winner is automatically and randomly selected. When the raffle is closed, My School Connect\u2019s reporting functionality allows the school to report back on results and the success of the raffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
