Eduprize Baskets

Here are some examples of baskets that Eduprize had at their Spring Carnival last year.  They raised $14,000 on their Silent Auction baskets. (They do have 3 times as many students as we do.) Some of their baskets did go for a lot of money -but they also had a lot that went between $40-$80.   In the past our raffle baskets have been quite small,  but I am hoping we can think big this year! Below are some examples and the amount for which they sold.
