Annual Rummage Sale

Benefiting Eagle Valley Community Fund

Back in 1964, the first rummage sale raised money for the first teacher at Vail Country Day School. Later, the sale helped pay off debt for the first public school in Vail and for developing the Vail Valley Medical Center. Today, the Rummage Sale benefits with Eagle Valley Community Fund, which distributes funds to non-profit organizations, school groups and important causes all over Eagle County.

In 2005, the rummage sale raised over $170,000 – our biggest year ever! The top beneficiaries included Meet the Wilderness, the Eagle County Humane Society, Vail Mountain Rescue and the Town of Minturn. For more information about the results, link to the Vail Trail.
