Tricky Tray
Join us for Dunellen PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year! This event raises the majority of the funds needed to pay for the events and programs we sponsor each year.
The Tricky Tray will take place on May 4, 2024 at John P. Faber Elementary School in the Gymnasium, 400 High Street, Dunellen, New Jersey 08812 and it will be a hybrid event. You must be 18 years or older to participate in this event. You can choose if you want to drop your tickets and watch a live stream of the raffle drawing or stay and watch the raffle drawing live. We will have 2 time slots for those that would like to drop their tickets and stay (11:30am & 12:30pm). We will have a 200 person seating limit. There will be 25 tables with 8 people at each table. We will not accommodate more than 8 at a table for this year's event. If you are attending in person, please choose a table captain and list their name where noted below so that we know what table you want to sit at. Please note that everyone must register individually.
The 11:30am & 12:30pm in-person time slots will have a 100 person limit. We are using the staggered entry times to help with the crowds at the entrance and when dropping tickets.
The Live Stream event will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024 and will feature the pulling of the winning tickets for all prizes. The Golden Ticket (see below for details) will be drawn at 2pm, and the rest of the prizes will be drawn starting at 2:15pm.
Registration closes on Saturday, April 27, 2024 @ 5pm (or when we have reached capacity for the ticket drop time slots available).
In order to participate and stay in-person for the drawing, you will need to be available to enter at either 11:30am or 12:30pm. The Sign-Up Genius link will also be sent to those planning to stay in-person so you can choose your entrance time slot. The link will only be sent after registration is completed and payment is received.
The baskets will be on display in the gym. Additional Basket Raffle Tickets, Mystery Prize Tickets, Lottery/Money Tree Tickets, Birthday Raffle Tickets, 50/50 Tickets, and Golden Tickets will also be for sale during the ticket drop times.

The Raffle Tickets that you purchase as a part of this form will be available to pick up either at your ticket drop time slot, or you may pick up your tickets on Friday, May 3, 2024 between 4pm and 5:30pm at the Faber Elementary Gym doors. Please note that if you pick up your tickets prior to your ticket drop time slot, you are responsible for those tickets.
Registration is $5 per person. You can only register one participant per Google Form as your name and phone number will be associated with each ticket purchased. Payments may be combined, but Google Forms must be individualized. If paying for multiple parties, please make sure all names are noted when your payment is made.
The GOLDEN TICKET is returning this year after several years' success! The Golden Ticket prize will be 1 ticket dropped in each prize in Levels A, B, C, and D. The tickets will be pre-dropped by one of our volunteers and the winner will receive the ticket stubs for all of those pre-dropped tickets. All pre-dropped tickets will be labeled with "Golden Ticket Winner" on the back so that we will know the winner of the prize. You can purchase a Golden Ticket for $20.
We are also continuing the themed Table Decorating contest for those staying for the in-person drawing! This year our theme will be "Fandom Fanatics". Those that attend can decorate their table to fit with the theme to win the contest. Let your imagination dive into your favorite fandoms - movies, music, comics, sports! May the Fourth be with you while you plan your table setup. We will have a group of the volunteers choose the best decorated table prior to intermission. The winning table will be announced at the beginning of intermission and everyone at the table will win 2 additional Level C Tickets and 2 additional Level D Tickets that they can drop in the ticket buckets during intermission for more chances to win the big prizes.
Those that attend may choose to bring food and drink with them. Please note that since the Tricky Tray is taking place in the school, alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
