Another successful Trinkets & Treasures event is in the WDCC history books…
100% of net proceeds benefit the three selected non-profit organizations, empowering WDCC women to partner with the chosen recipients to raise funds to support their programs and community projects.
The 16th annual event brought in first time shoppers and many repeat patrons. Strong marketing, especially through social media and network radio (News Talk Muskegon 1090; Positively Muskegon; and WGHN in Grand Haven) proved to help bring in new donation donors, Pre-Sale attendees, and first time thrift shoppers. Eighty two shoppers took advantage of the Early Bird Special on Friday morning. And, many favorable patron shoppers came back to shop the 50% and 70% offerings on Saturday and Sunday.
A HUGE Thank You to the extraordinary WDCC members and non-profit partner volunteers who worked countless hours to convert an empty retail space into a store environment of new and gently used goods in just 11 days. It was an amazing feat observed by all. Finally, a special thank you to our In-Kind Sponsors for their community support.
Trinkets & Treasures 2024 raised $15,115.32 in net proceeds. Since 2006, this event has raised over $213,164!
Co-chairs: Jo Anne Hoekegna, Cindy Timmerman, and Judy Douville
