I was reading the Brooklin Crier and thought it would be a good idea to mention this upcoming event as well. It is the Baby and Kids annual fundraiser, a huge charity yard sale, with all earnings going straight to Sick Kids Hospital. The event, founded by the Archer family, started in 2009, as a way to "pay it forward" for the amazing treatment their son received at Sick Kids when he was born at just 29 weeks of gestation.
The Baby and Kids fundraiser has earned close to $20 000 in the last two years - isn't that amazing???? The Archer family looks for donations from local family's to make this possible. They accept items such as books, clothes, games, strollers, you name it! You can contact them babykidsgearyardsale@live.com , or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000742089389&sk=wall if you'd like to make a donation.
This year they are holding the event at Winchester Public School's gym - which tells you how big this sale has become. Last year the gym was PACKED with goodies of all types. It'll be held on Sat. May 28th and Sun. May 29th from 7am - 2pm both days. Take it from me, you want to get there early!
One word of advice: the prices are amazing so lets keep in mind that all the money raised is going to a great cause. This isn't the type of yard sale to barter (I saw one person doing this last year and it irked me a tad!).
I hope you go and check it out!
