Lighten Up!

Please save the date for the 2014 Lighten Up Garage
Sale! It will take place in Carleton College's West Gym on Friday, June
20th, 8-5pm and Saturday, June 21st 8am-12pm. Join us!

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!

Where does the money go?

The 2013 sale raised over $30,000 for three local nonprofit organizations:
Northfield Area Special Olympics
The Key: Northfield Union of Youth
Project Friendship
