Goat Insurance

Volunteers and Board Members hold a "goat insurance" fund raiser that people can't resist because they can't stop laughing! Flyers are mailed to announce that the United Way will raffle off a donated goat. For $10, a person can send in the names of three people. Letters are then sent to those three people, telling them they have a chance to win a goat. But, for $10 they can buy "goat insurance" to protect themselves from being entered in the raffle. The winner of the raffle does get the goat, but after the fun wears off, the goat is returned to its owner.

Thanks to Hospice Care of Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Florida for this idea!
