Lighten Up Garage Sale
What is Lighten Up?
Each Spring Carleton College students donate unneeded items to the Lighten Up Garage Sale. Students donate a variety of items including: clothing, winter apparel, furniture, household items, books, bedding, sport equipment, and other fun things! The sale is held every year in Carleton's West Gym during reunion weekend. The proceeds provide essential funds for community non-profits and also served as an excellent lesson in "green" living!
The 2012 Lighten Up Garage Sale will take place in Carleton College's West Gym Friday, June 15, 8:00 am - 7 pm and Saturday, June 16, from 8:00 am - noon.
Where does the money go?
The 2011 sale raised over $26,500 for three local nonprofit organizations:
- Northfield Area Special Olympics
- The Key: Northfield Union of Youth
- Project Friendship
