Fund Raising at the Golden Nugget Flea Market for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Flea Markets are proof positive of the old adage that "one man's junk is another man's treasure. "

Alan Agree and Dick Newbert spent Sunday morning at the Golden Nugget Flea Market in Lambertville … and it was a Golden Day!

with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

While most of the traffic are just lookers,

others were interested in specific items, with DVDs, Alaskan license plates, bear warning signs, camera tripods and even golf balls attracting the most attention.

Like all such events, buyers were looking to hagle for a better price.  However, when we mentioned that all of the monies raised were being donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and their quest to find cures and treatements for blood cancers, the vast majority actually decided to pay the asking price,

threw an extra dollar or two in our collection jar and, in the case of one incredibly generous individual whose son has multiple meyeloma, he returned and quietly handed us a $50 bill!

By thee end of the morning, we took in $360 of which $70 were donations!

Together with other efforts, and a corporate match, our 2019 collections now exceed $13,000!

However, not content to having exceeded our goal for the year, we will be attending other flea markets, participating in the Society's annual Light the Night Walk in Doylestown in October and undertaking other initiatives.
