A quarter auction is a type of fundraising event that combines elements of a raffle, an auction, and a direct sales party. Heres how it typically works:
- Participants arrive at the event with a bag of quarters.
- Items up for auction are displayed, and each item is assigned a number.
- Participants place their quarters in a container for each item they want to bid on.
- A number is drawn for each item, and the person who placed a quarter in the corresponding container wins the item.
- The winner pays the amount of quarters they placed in the container, and the proceeds go towards the fundraising cause.
Quarter auctions are often held as a fun and unique way to raise money for a cause, and they can also include direct sales vendors who offer their products for auction.
