A past Attic Angel Sale.

media release: The mega resale event orchestrated by Attic Angel Association and known as the Attic Sale will be open June 2 and 3 at Keva Sports Center, 8312 Forsythia Street in Middleton.

Now in its 63rd year, the event is like a community-wide garage sale that has grown so big as to fill a sports complex and be organized by department. The sale features gently used furniture, artwork, jewelry, household and kitchen items, linens, toys and sporting goods. Proceeds benefit children and seniors in Dane County.

HOURS AND ADMISSION: The sale begins Friday, June 2, with $10 early-bird admission from 8 to 11 am. Tickets for ages 12 and older are required and can be purchased at the sale or in advance at Attic Angel Association, 640 Junction Road, Madison. Admission is free for the rest of the sale hours: Friday 11 am to 4 pm and Saturday 9 am to 1 pm.

HOW THE ATTIC SALE BENEFITS COMMUNITY: The two-day Attic Sale is organized throughout the year, thanks to donations from community members and the work of dozens of volunteers who are members of Attic Angel Association. Each year, the sale raises tens of thousands of dollars in proceeds that benefit children and seniors throughout Dane County.

Three-quarters of the proceeds are distributed via grants to other community nonprofit agencies that meet this year’s focus of helping families with school-age children to address housing insecurity. The remaining amount provides a safety net for seniors who outlive their financial resources.

HISTORY OF THE SALE: Attic Angel Association is a 134-year-old philanthropic sisterhood of volunteers who take pride in the creative use of existing resources to raise money to meet community needs. The very first Attic Sale was held in 1961 and every year since. During the covid pandemic, the fundraising activities took various twists and turns, but the Attic Angels never backed down from their commitment to serve the greater community.

OTHER FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES: Attic Angel’s community grants program is bolstered also by an annual golf outing (Aug. 28, 2023) and two additional sales: The Classic Clothing Sale (Sept. 22-23) and the Holidays Galore & More Sale (Nov. 3-4).
