THE
8thANNUAL PLANET PALMERSTON
COMMUNITY YARD SALE RETURNS!
Palmerston
Blvd, from College Street to Bloor Street
- A portion of
event proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area-
Toronto, ON – On June 18th, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the
residents of Palmerston Blvd. will host their 8th annual PLANET PALMERSTON: a
community yard sale with a portion of proceeds going to Habitat For Humanity Greater
Toronto Area.
Now a staple event in the community,
this year’s event aims to build on the success of past years when Palmerston
Boulevard came alive with yard sales, bake sales, lemonade stands, raffles,
plant sales, bbq’s, live music and a strong sense of community. To date, the
event has raised over $18,000 for Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area.
“The intention of the day is to
build community on our own street, to invite others to celebrate with us and
together, raise money and awareness for charities working to improve our
community at large,” says one of the event’s organizers Mackenzie Muldoon;
“everybody wins!”
The
way the day works is that Palmerston Blvd. residents are invited to hold sales
of their own, and either pledge a percentage of their sales to the charity, or
make a minimum donation. ‘Habitat Headquarters’ is a giant sale, this year held
at a NEW address, 400 Palmerston Blvd (at the corner of Ulster St.), where
anyone and everyone is invited to donate goods, and 100% of the proceeds from
this sale will go to the charity. This year PARA (the Palmerston Area Residence
Association) is also getting involved, and inviting any local residents to
participate by renting a table space on Palmerston Blvd., with proceeds of the
rentals going to charity.
