 RIS Garage Sale raises over $3,000!
The September RIS Garage Sale raised over $3,000, a 25% increase over last year's record breaking event! Our thanks to the many Garage Sale contributors, tireless volunteers and all of you who purchased all the wonderful, exciting and sometimes weird merchandise. As one customer said "this is the best organized and most friendly" garage sale she had ever attended. The event also served as an educational tool with Red Flags Brochures and general information handed out to each attendee.  Young or old or in between if you have or are taking a sarcoma "journey" we would love to have your share that journey with others who can learn and be helped by your experience.
