New this year: Students, employees and community members can sell their outdoor recreation and sporting equipment at the sale by using a consignment option.
Also new this year, proceeds from consignment sales go toward a new student scholarship fund that helps students participate in outdoor trips and activities that would otherwise struggle to do so because of financial difficulties.
Donations of equipment and cash are encouraged. All proceeds from the sale of donated equipment will go toward the student scholarship fund. Have something sitting around in your garage or basement? Let us know! Drop it off and we would love to try and sell it to benefit our students!
Interested in selling or donating something? Read this Seller’s Agreement and fill out this form to let us know!
