What is a Tricky Tray Auction?

Tricky Tray Auctions are a unique fundraising event that combines elements of raffles and silent auctions. You may have heard them referred to as basket raffles, penny socials, brown bag auctions, or basket socials. Tricky Tray involves participants purchasing sheets of tickets for a chance to win prizes. (Must be present to win.)

How does it work?

PCPG will display a variety of prizes in the event room, during our Annual Meeting. Participants can purchase a ticket sheet ($20 / 25 tickets) at the time of enrollment for this event, or on-site at the registration table. Throughout the Annual Meeting, participants will have the opportunity to drop individual tickets into the container for the prize(s) they wish to win. At the end of the event, a winner is drawn from each container for its respective prize.

You can purchase one sheet of 25 tickets or increase your options by purchasing multiple ticket sheets. Participants have the option to put all tickets into one jar for a single prize or distribute their tickets amongst a few prizes. The choice is yours!

Who benefits?

PCPG's contribution to the success of the 2025 Dunst Memorial Fund fundraiser is the purchase of prizes worth up to $2,500. All revenue generated from the purchase of ticket sheets will be deposited in the Barb Dunst Memorial Fund.
