About the Teacher Treat Raffle Program at PS9 For many years, PS9 administrators, teachers and staff have generously participated in the annual auction by donating experiences that our parents bid on for their children. Over the years, these donations have become a significant portion of our auction profits. Until 2011, the Auction Committee offered the Teacher Treats as part of the Silent Auction at the annual gala. Winners were always the highest bidders. Over the years, the Auction Committee discussed avenues to make the system more equitable without compromising revenue. After analyzing our data and the experiences of other schools, we decided to switch to a raffle system so that every child has a chance to win. Every family who secured an auction item before Thanksgiving received a free raffle ticket for their child. The base price for one ticket is $10, which is an affordable price for a chance to win. We hope that the increased equity of the system will lead to greater participation and higher overall revenues. 2015 TT About 2.5.15
