PAY IT FORWARD... Tag Sale.. Fundraiser for breast cancer.

On Friday, April 29th and Saturday April 30th, friends of mine held a tag sale for their annual 3-Day walk for a cure for breast cancer in Cromwell CT

They were up at the crack of dawn putting things out.

Notice that *pink* this the main theme here.

I purchased a few things, but then I came up with a brain storm. There are items I have around the house, that I just didn't want anymore.  Instead of throwing them out.. I brought them over for them to sell.. and made them promise to keep whatever money they make from selling these items they are to keep for their walk.

Of course not everything sold.. so, yes, I bought items (a futon)  LOL.  Not that I truly needed this.. but the money is going to a good cause.

Very nice thing to do Valerie.  I once paid way too much for concert tickets to raise money for Susan G. Koman foundation.  Veryl worthy cause indeed.

Hi Valerie, definitely a great cause and you definitely payed it forward here.  Donating your items to a great cause.  Isn't it amazing the things that we purchase sometimes?  That futon will come in handy.  Have a great evening.

Gabriela.. Thanks.  I'm hoping they have another fundraiser between now and October (when they are going on their walk), I think it is a VERY worthwhile cause.

Judith.. LOL.  Right now the futon is in my basement collecting dust as we speak.  You are more than welcome to buy it from me and I'll domate the proceeds to "The Cure".

Very cool.

Isn't it funny how things like this end up being so much work?

It can be exhausting, but it's such a wonderful cause.

Congrats.

Wanda.. Yes it is.  I hope they have another one.  I have lots of things I don't need, and I can't think of a better cause to give it to.

Ralph.. Yes it is a lot of work, but also very rewarding too.  I (for me) believe that out weights the work end.
