A “25 Cent Event” is a cross between a raffle and an auction. It's also a mix between a charity fundraiser and a direct sales vendor event.

 Purchase a ticket (that gets you in the door and gets you a numbered bidding paddle

• • Your paddle will have a corresponding number on a pop sickle stick that will go into the drawing basket.
  • Home-based business people bring items to put up for "chances to win." (Those items are on display for an hour before the event begins)

 The auction starts

• • The emcee will show the item, give a brief description of it, and tell if it is a 1 qtr, 2 qtr, or 3 qtr bid item.  This is determined by the cost of the item offered at the time (You need to bring your quarters along or purchase them at the door).

 You like the item and want to Bid on it.

• • If you're interested in a chance to win that item, you'll put the required number of quarters in the bowl at your table and hold up your bidding paddle.
  • (For example, if an item valued at $15 is offered it would require a .25 bid. If you want it, you toss a quarter into the bowl and raise your paddle)

 The emcee draws a numbers to find a winner.

• • If your number is drawn, you win that item for a quarter!
  • If you didn't bid and your number is called, you call out "no bid!" and numbers continue to be drawn to find a winner. (You can also buy a second (or third) paddle and double or triple bid to increase your odds).   You can win as many times as your number is drawn!!

It sounds potentially complicated if you haven't been to one before but once you're there and see it in action, it makes sense and it's a blast!

The designated money raised at each event will benefit the local charitable or organization that is chosen for that event

Consider this event as a "Girls Nite Out!" It's so much fun!
