Remember Tricky Tray—formerly known as the Chinese auction? It’s a classic fundraising raffle/auction event where:

  • Local, timely event: Takes place once, in local event hall
  • Item Display: Items are showcased on tables for all to review
  • Ticket Purchase: Attendees buy tickets to bid on their favorite items
  • Bidding: Participants place their tickets in a container beside the item they desire; more tickets mean a better chance of winning
  • Drawing: At the end of the auction, one ticket is manually drawn from each container, and the ticket holder wins the corresponding item
