    Question Raffle pens... for charity?

    So, as an alternative to ebaying or placing pens in the classifieds, i was thinking about the raffle concept - with the plan to provide a proportion for a charitable donation.

    What do you all think?

    Here is one partner i am considering to employ -

    In the US you would have a lot of trouble with this concept since it is considered gambling and regulated by the Internal Revenue Service.

    Maybe using an intermediary service limits my liability?
