The Pasadena Guild of Children’s Hospital, founded in 1947, is preparing for its annual Treasures and Trivia Sale, a fundraising event benefiting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The sale, known as the largest and longest-running rummage sale in Southern California, has raised over thirty million dollars since its inception.
The Treasures and Trivia Sale will be held Oct. 25 to Oct. 27, 2024, at 465 North Halstead (corner of Halstead and Electronic Ave.) in Pasadena. The event typically offers a wide array of items, including vintage couture, gently used clothing, furniture, art, and estate pieces.
All profits from the sale benefit Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). The Pasadena Guild aims to support the hospital’s research, education, and patient services programs through this annual fundraiser.
The sale features departments for fine arts, a chic boutique, and various household goods. Visitors can expect to find jewelry, crystal, silver, china, sports equipment, children’s items, linens, books, and small electronics among the offerings.
The event maintains a policy of free admission, encouraging community participation. Payment options include Visa, MasterCard, and Discover, with cash anticipated to be accepted as well.
There will be ample parking, with a large lot available at the venue and additional street parking nearby. However, they note that bags are not permitted in certain areas, including the Chic Boutique and Fine Arts departments.
The Pasadena Guild’s commitment to supporting pediatric healthcare is evident in the scale and longevity of this event. As Southern California’s premier rummage sale, it continues to attract bargain hunters and philanthropists alike.
