The 5th Annual 5th Bridge Goods for Good Event
May 4th & 5th 2012 (weekend before Mother’s Day)
Goods for Good is a community rummage sale event to raise money for various charities (chosen by each site host) that let’s anyone be a philanthropist. Sale hosts can convert unwanted household items into cash for their favorite cause without impacting their regular budget and non-profit organizations (clubs, schools, churches, etc…) can focus on their fundraising without worrying about the event promotion. This is 5th Bridge’s 5th year to support this great community event so we are striving for this to be the best year ever. Our goal is to recruit 50 sites to host a rummage sale or refreshment stand that will raise $25,000 of new money for charitable causes in and around our community. Last year our event was featured on Coffee with KARE and we are hoping to get on KARE 11 News this year. So sign up early…the bigger the event…the more we can promote the event… and the more money we will raise for charities.
You choose: rummage sale or refreshment stand; your location; whether to have a Friday & Saturday sale or a Saturday Only sale; the hours you will be open; the percentage of proceeds you will commit to donating (min. 50%); and the cause or organization that will benefit from your sale.
Great service and fund raising opportunity for families, neighborhoods, churches, non-profit organizations, service clubs, Circles of Service, sports teams, school groups, friends, etc…(Organizations can benefit themselves). This event will allow more people to participate in philanthropy without impacting their normal cash flow or giving choices and will provide charitable causes with much needed additional revenue.
5th Bridge will organize the event, mobilize the site hosts, and provide a toolkit to make the project easier, create a map with site locations, provide local and regional promotion of the event, provide signs, organize a Success Celebration, help organize disposal of leftovers, and distribute the proceeds to the charitable causes selected by each site.
