Roger,

As I understand, it is a means by which monies are collected (milked like a
cow) and to partake, the school pupils pay a certain amount and are allowed
to dress 'down'.

We have the same thing here in SA to collect monies for the cancer
association. It's called Casual Day; you dress in denims to work and pay R5
which is collected by a partaking bank on behalf of the cancer association.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser

Not sure what a cow raffle is (are they holding a raffle with a cow as the
prize? Or maybe it's one of those raffles where the winning numbers are
"selected" by a cow – the field is marked with a numbered grid, and wherever
a cowpie lands is a winning number). The "dress down" part probably means
the students are allowed to wear regular clothes to school that day instead
of uniforms.
