I’ve heard of a golf ball drop and even an Easter Egg drop, but this is a first for me. This story comes from the Myrtle Beach Online site:

One athletics booster club in Horry County is holding a helicopter football drop, during which school board member Joe DeFeo uses his helicopter to drop footballs on the field. Whoever bought the ticket for the section that one, specially chosen football lands in gets $1,000.

Sounds like a fun, unusual raffle idea! So I guess the profit potential depends on how many sections there are, how much $ they are each and if you sell out the whole field. I guess you would want to make the sections small so you could sell the most boxes possible.

Then it’s all up to your volunteers to sell as many tickets as possible! Plus you could make this into an entire event, maybe part of a tailgate party. It also sounds like one of those unusual fundraisers that would draw even more interest and funds the second year its done. Once people see this in action they’d really talk it up next time.
