Angel’s Attic is a sale with a touch of flair. “We are formatting it like a store, but with garage sale prices,” says Kay Melemed, co-chair of the event.
More than 100 volunteers have organized this sale, so all proceeds go directly to Angel Foundation to support local cancer patients and their families.
Spearheading this event are Melemed and Judy Kauffman who organized the World’s Largest Garage Sale for over 30 years. With a desire to continue using their expertise for a good cause, Melemed and Kauffman created Angel’s Attic to benefit Angel Foundation.
Melemed is available for interviews upon request.
Margie Sborov, founder of Angel Foundation, is also available for interviews.
