$1 Sale for Caldera Was MAJOR Success!
WOW – last Sunday’s $1 Sale was crazy! Thank you to everyone who came out and shopped for a cause!
Not only was it our most successful $1 Sale yet this summer, the event also featured our youngest-ever $1 Sale shopper (the cutie pictured above took home a vintage beaded purse).
And, as if that weren’t enough, this $1 Sale also had the biggest single customer purchase ever: 70 items! Yep, one of your fellow Portlanders found 70 great garments…and their purchase translated into $70 cash to Caldera.
As with all of our summer $1 Sales, 100% of proceeds from the event are going to a local non-profit. Sunday’s $1 Sale benefited Caldera – an exceptional organization that supports the arts on many levels, including artist-in-residence programs and extensive outreach to struggling schools and students.
We have one $1 Sale left on the 2011 Summer calendar: Sunday, August 24 from 10 am – noon. The last $1 Sale of the summer will benefit Dove Lewis, an amazing emergency veterinary center, so get ready to shop!

This Sunday, August 14, we’ll be hosting another awesome $1 Sale from 10 am – noon! 100% of the proceeds from this Sale will go to Caldera, a local non-profit that promotes the importance of arts in education. In their own words:
Today, we work year-round with thousands of students, and we invite artists from all over the world for month long residencies at our arts center near Sisters.
Caldera’s mission is to be a catalyst for transformation through innovative art and environmental programs.
Sunday’s $1 Sale will feature hundreds of vintage and name brand items for men and women…There’s lots of good stuff and it’s all just a buck a piece! (CASH ONLY.)
Past $1 Sales have benefited Basic Rights Oregon, Cat Adoption Team, Northwest Down Syndrome Association and St. Francis Dining Hall. All Red Light $1 Sales help keep clothes out of landfills and money in the coffers of great non-profits that directly aid and enrich Portland residents – by shopping local you are supporting your community in so many ways!
