Saturday 4/2/11 we had an awesome yard sale for Relay for Life in Tracy CA & raised $1,084.15. Our combo team consists of 
Tracy Fire Dept, Tracy Police Dept,& D.A.R.E program. There was an unbelievable amount of time put into getting this yard sale together. Before Saturday, we had to get donations (lots of them). The DARE kids collected mountains of items. Everything was stored at a storage unit locally. We used the parking lot at the Tracy Fire Admin to set up.
We started at 6:30am Sat morning getting all the truck loads of items delivered to the parking lot & then the set up began. Once the people started coming in, we have 4 of us standing at the "very informal" checkout area. We raised $1,084.15 & the yard sale was officially 8am till noon. It was awesome to see everyone working together. It was so fun to see the families in Tracy getting an amazing amount of items for so cheap. It was an absolute win-win. We touched at least 200 families with clothes & toys for their kids. After all was done, anything left over went to Tracy Interfaith Ministries.
What a great day it was for all. Thank you to everyone that supported in all ways. You know who you are!!!!
