Flea market event raises over $5,000 for Wheelchair Foundation

A little rain, a little heat, but a lot of folks! That's a good way to sum up the success of Chattanooga's LARGEST Outdoor Flea Market held last Saturday on the OLPH football field. Stuff was stacked up and strung out on several rows that reached the 50 yard line, at least, and lots and lots of bargains were there to be found. CLICK HERE to see pictures.

The results? A full parking lot throughout the day turned into a total of more than $5,000 raised for the Tennessee Wheelchair Foundation. The proceeds will be donated to help purchase wheelchairs for disabled Tennessee veterans in need of mobility and hope!

MANY THANKS to co-chairs Moe Rivers (in the picture with Warren White) and Allen Greenwell for spending most of their waking hours the last few weeks organizing, picking up and recruiting the support and volunteers necessary to make this fundraiser a success! Also, thanks to Chip Chapman and Dale Mitchell of WUUS Radio for spending their morning with us to drum up business, and also to Brother Joe Mule', General Manager, for making that partnership possible in the first place! The station's support of the event as our official media partner was outstanding and appreciated!

Also, THANKS to the many Brother Knights who gave up most of their weekend to help make the sale a success! Didn't get a chance to work? Then DONATE to the Wheelchair Foundation.
