Moppet Togs Fall Sale
September 28, 2012
Moppet Togs is a huge children's clothing consignment sale held in Boise twice a year. We were given a "vendor's table" at the Fall sale, so that we could begin our efforts to raise awareness locally about our new Ben Towne Foundation Boise Chapter, and about the need for funding for pediatric cancer. Thousands of people consign and purchase children's clothing at the sales over four days. We put together a tri-fold with information about pediatric cancer and about Ben Towne Foundation. We had a chance to talk with many people as they waited in the check out line. Danielle and Martha shared BTF brochures, information sheets, pens and bracelets with the hoards of shopping parents. We met people who had personal experiences with pediatric cancer - as well as many who had no idea about the lack of funding specifically for pediatric cancers. Moppet Togs also supports charities each season and we hoped that eventually we might be able to be one of the charities they would choose to support.
