Carnival fundraiser

Raffle Basket

Sunday, May 17 • During the FVES PTA Carnival

The Basket Raffle is a beloved Carnival tradition and a major part of our fundraising efforts, alongside the Silent Auction happening at the front of the event.

 

Each classroom creates a themed basket filled with items donated by families. Every contribution helps support next year's PTA programs, from field trips and assemblies to classroom resources and community events that keep our Fireflies shining.

Why Your Donation Matters

Your generosity helps create baskets families get excited to bid on, and those bids directly support field trips, assemblies, classroom resources, community-building events, and enrichment programs.

 

Every item helps our Firefly community shine a little brighter.

How It Works

How the Basket Raffle Works

Each classroom builds a themed basket. Families donate items through Amazon Wish Lists or by sending in-person items to school. Baskets are displayed during Carnival, and families buy raffle tickets for the baskets they love.
