Contacting Companies for Charity Raffle

Options
Hello,

First time posting here. I am arranging a Halloween charity event at the end of the month in aid of The Lily Foundation. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas of which companies would be best to contact about getting items for our Raffle. I have spoken with The Lily Foundation and got a letter to pretty much confirm I am raising money in aid of them, so hopefully that would build confidence when reaching out to businesses that I am not just wanting to scam free stuff. 

I would also like to know if any of you have any other ideas of what we can do to raise money. We are doing a raffle and a Halloween dress-up week for definite. It takes place in my work which is a medium/large sized community supermarket, so any ideas that would be suitable for that location, please share.

Thanks in advance!
