Humboldt Sponsors
Annual Rummage Sale 2011 marked the 46th anniversary of the Humboldt Sponsors Rummage Sale and primary fundraiser. The annual sale is held the first Saturday in October from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds in Eureka. Spread out over three buildings, there are great bargains on housewares, furniture, electronics, tools, books, clothing, jewelry, toys and sporting goods, including new items donated by local merchants. With an active membership of more than 50 volunteers and a very large group of associate members, Humboldt Sponsors is able to generate most of the funds needed for grant requests with the proceeds from their annual Rummage Sale. Anyone interested in donating new or gently used items can email dchristen@rennerpetroleum.com. In addition, beginning February 4th, the Samoa storage unit will be open the first Saturday of every month from 9 - 12 for rummage drop-off. Again, please email dchristen@rennerpetroleum.com with any questions. Wine and Brew Tasting Humboldt Sponsors, the largest supporters of Humboldt County youth, held its 14th Annual Wine and Brew Tasting on May 12, 2011 in the newly remodeled Turf Club at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds. As with all Humboldt Sponsors fundraising projects, proceeds benefited the children of Humboldt County. This past year, nearly $77,000 in grant money was awarded by Humboldt Sponsors to approximately 44,000 children through local youth organizations for educational, recreational and cultural activities and for assistance for youth programs.
