The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) is taking a cue from local homeowners who often hold garage sales just prior to moving. However HGAR’s Garage Sale, set for June 14, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, will span six counties and include dozens of real estate agencies.
The HGAR Garage Sale is all part of the Association’s ongoing efforts to raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Hudson Valley, a Tarrytown-based non-profit group that grants the wishes of children dealing with life-threatening medical conditions. HGAR’s family of real estate agencies will offer discounted items brought in by their agents, and all monies collected will go directly to Make-A-Wish® Hudson Valley.
“Every Fall, we hold a special cocktail party, which is our major fundraiser for this fantastic organization,” said Kathy Milich, HGAR Make-A-Wish Committee Chair. “This year, we wanted to get the jump on our fundraising efforts so we can make an even bigger difference in the lives of these children.”

“We’re inviting everyone to come out to their local real estate agency, get a great deal on some special items, and help Make-A-Wish® at the same time,” added Milich.
