Save The Date: Northgate Neighborhood Plans Giant Garage Sale in July

The annual Walnut Creek event, organized by "Team Torrey" Realtors, is a fundraiser for Northgate High football, AND ... will include an E-cycling truck accepting electronic goods.

The 25th annual Northgate Neighborhood Garage Sale, hosted by J. Rockcliff Realtors' “Torrey Team,” consisting of Pete, Zack and Andrea Torrey, will be held Saturday, July 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  

The event features more than 100 participating homes and is a fundraiser for the Northgate High School football team.

Northgate team players will be selling the Bronco Gold Cards for $20 apiece, with each card offering the purchaser more than $100 in discounts and services from local merchants and businesses.

Donations for bottled water will also benefit the team’s efforts to purchase much-needed updated athletic equipment, such as anti-concussion gear, and to assist players in attending St. Mary’s football camp.

E Recycle will have a truck at the event and will be accepting electronic waste, such as old computers, monitors and other electronic devices, for recycling at no charge.

In addition, El Ranchero food truck will also be selling food in the neighborhood during the event and will be donating a portion of proceeds to Northgate football.

“What a great event this has become,” said Pete Torrey. “It gets bigger every year, and we are always thrilled to see the community come together to do something fun, clean up the neighborhood and support a great local cause. We’re proud to have organized and sponsored this event for the past 25 years, and look forward to doing it for 25 more!”

“In addition to my career as a Realtor,” said Zack Torrey, “I also serve as the defensive line coach for Northgate High School’s football team. As budgets for athletic programs continue to get cut, while mandates for more expensive safety equipment increase, it’s particularly important that we have venues like this event that provide for the opportunity to maintain our athletic programs at peak form.”

Maps and neighborhood garage sale locations, as well as the E Recycle truck, will be available at 2327 Cascade Drive in Walnut Creek during the event.
Any additional donations for the Northgate Football team will also be accepted at the same address.

Community signups for the event close on July 4, 2014.

There is no charge to participate in or attend the event.
