Rummage Sale Trailers Open July 11
77th Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale Ready For Donations
Leesburg, VA – July 6, 2015 – The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital is officially accepting donations for the annual Rummage Sale. Donations will be collected on Saturday, July 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Inova Loudoun Hospital, 44045 Riverside Parkway, Leesburg, VA, and at Inova Loudoun Medical Campus – Leesburg, 224 Cornwall Street. Red balloons will direct traffic to the specially designated trailers.
“The support and wonderful donations we receive from the community is really the key to what makes this rummage sale so successful. Without the generosity of our donors, where would we be? These donations will eventually transform into funds for nursing scholarships and patient equipment/services at Inova Loudoun Hospital,” said Lisa Cromwell, chairperson of the event.
The Ladies Board Rummage Sale is known as the largest sale in the mid-Atlantic region and was named last month as the Best Annual Charity Event in Northern Virginia by Virginia Living magazine. It is the ultimate in bargain hunting and attracts a loyal, growing fan base each year.
