Massive Yard Sale In Newtown To Benefit Pancreatic Cancer Research

NEWTOWN, PA — A Love For Life, a Newtown-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting pancreatic cancer research, will hold a Massive Garage Sale on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 117 North Lincoln Avenue.

Among the items on sale will be glassware, candles, notecards, furniture, men's and women's clothing, books, art supplies, picture frames, pottery, planters, mirrors, holiday ornaments, housewares, silver platters, fabric, records, plants, vintage decorative items, jewelry and A Love for Life merchandise including t-shirts, yoga tanks and etched pint glasses.

In addition, there will be lemonade, snacks, and music.

Last year's sale raised more than $16,000 for the Newtown-based nonprofit which holds the event every November during Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.

A Love for Life will be selling merchandise including t-shirts, yoga tanks and etched pint glasses at the Massive Garage Sale.

Looking ahead, A Love for Life is teaming up with the historic Newtown Theatre to present a benefit showing of the movie, "Purple Rain," on Thursday, Nov. 21 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The 1984 film, starring rock legend Prince, is about a young musician, tormented by an abusive situation at home, who must contend with a rival singer, a burgeoning romance, and his own dissatisfied band.

The cost is $20, which includes a complimentary purple cocktail (or a non-alcoholic option) and a few surprise treats along the way. All guests must be 18+. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to pancreatic cancer research at Penn Medicine.

Also, watch for future information on Sip & Shop evenings in the State Street historic district.
