4th Annual Allie’s Sale: October 6th-8th, 2016

Donate, shop, and stop pediatric brain cancer!

Allie’s Sale is a massive three-day charity garage sale held in memory of Allie. The sale is held every October in honor of Allie’s birthday. The sale features over ten thousand great items, raffle items, and food that are donated by local families and businesses. All of the money raised by the sale is donated to the Children’s Brain Tumor Family Foundation. The sale showcases the generosity and kindness of the local community while giving hope to the families affected by pediatric brain cancer.

This year, we are thrilled the sale is being hosted indoors at Valley View United Methodist, at 95th and Antioch in Overland Park. We will be serving hot dogs, brats, chips, and snacks at lunch!

History

Our neighbor, Tricia Nelson, hosted the first Allie’s Sale in 2013, as a way to honor Allie on her birthday. She collected donations from our neighbors, her friends, and her church. She hoped to raise a few hundred dollars from the sale and donate it to the Children’s Brain Tumor Project. There was one raffle item in that sale; Allie’s bike she never got to ride. It was a Christmas gift the year before. The sale was bigger than we ever expected. After three days, the first Allie’s Sale raised $4,500.

The second year, the sale was much bigger, including pricing of over 5000 soft items such as clothes, bedding, and stuffed animals. There were great raffle items, fantastic food, and the incredible support from our generous corporate sponsors. Neighbors and friends worked for months on nights and weekends to sort, prepare, and price all the sale items. In the end, the sale raised $24,000.

Last year’s sale was even bigger and moved out of the neighborhood. Held at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, there were nearly 10,000 items donated by hundreds of donors and over one hundred volunteers who helped sort, price, and sell the items. Thanks to them and our sponsors we raised a record $33,000!
