Hi, Just wondering if anyone knew of a hotel that may be willing to donate a free W/E stay for a school fundraiser. We have been given 2 day passes to WDW and would like to get a hotel stay donated to have a great raffle for our school. With all the budget cuts in our area we are looking to have a special exciting raffle! Thanks for any help. :) :)

In the charity auctions I've helped with, we've worked with travel agencies to help with vacation donations. Also, sometimes local businesses have apartments/condos in large metro areas where they do business and have donated the use of these for a weekend. Good luck!

I get a lot of donations for our school. What a PITA. My best luck comes from just walking in and talking with a manager. Independent hotels are more likely to donate than chains. I have yet to get a chain to donate a night.
Good luck!

BTW, you are lucky you can still have raffles. In FL is it not allowed to have raffles. You can have silent or live auctions. I think it's silly we can't have raffles, but can have auctions!!

Maybe a parent who travels often would be able to donate enough "points" for the two nights?
