The annual Goodie Box is a RALA tradition for over 20 years, originally created as a homage to Elbert Hubbard’s famous “Goodie,” and is wildly popular with members and collectors as the backbone of RALA’s non-profit fund-raising initiatives. Besides containing an astonishing variety of items from Roycroft Artisans, each year’s box has a centerpiece created by a select Roycroft Master. Tickets are sold throughout the year with a final drawing at the National Arts and Crafts Conference, at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Winner takes all. The 2026 RALA Goodie Box was unveiled at the Summer Festival on June 28, and tickets are available through January 2027.
