Donating Items

Everyone is invited to donate items to the raffle. Typical donations include logo items from schools and organizations (e.g., golf shirts/balls, sweatshirts, hats, t-shirts, jackets, stuffed animals, electronics, and handbags) and other items conference attendees would find valuable.

As you select items to donate, please keep size, weight, and fragility in mind. If you can’t pack your donation, the winner probably wouldn’t be able to either. URMIA will not ship raffle prizes. If you have any questions, please contact Joelle Marcum in the National Office.

If you choose to ship your donated items to the Sheraton Boston Hotel, please carefully read our shipping instructions to understand and minimize your costs.


Dropping Off Donations

Bring your raffle items to the registration desk as early in the conference as possible. This will give attendees maximum opportunities to bid on your contributions.
