MV Big Flea Raises More Than $35,000

Following Saturday’s blowout sale, the MV Big Flea raised more than $35,000 for Mount Vernon Community School—a record for the event.

The total far exceeded the $25,000 goal organizers set when shop ‘n’ drop events to collect and sell donated merchandise began in November.  

All the money raised will fund education enrichment activities for students and help teachers purchase classroom supplies.

Last year, the MV Big Flea raised $25,111, down from $30,619 in 2011.
