Thank You for Making Our Annual Benefit Garage Sale a Huge Success!
Contributed by Rowan Holmes
We are beyond grateful to everyone who came out to support Alaska Junior Theater at our Annual Benefit Garage Sale this past weekend. Thanks to you, we raised thousands of dollars to help bring professional live arts experiences to children and families across Alaska.
A special thank-you to our incredible Board Members, all of whom showed up to pitch in and make the weekend a true success. Your time, energy, and generosity made all the difference.
Missed AJT’s Annual Benefit Garage Sale? Your chance to make a difference is far from over. All year long, you can support the magic of live performing arts by donating your gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories to FashionPact—just let them know it’s for Alaska Junior Theater.
Items can be dropped off at FashionPact, located at Lake Otis and 68th, Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Why does this matter? For many children in Alaska, an Alaska Junior Theater (AJT) performance is their very first experience with live theater—an opportunity not all families can afford. AJT makes the arts accessible, bringing professional performances to young audiences who might otherwise miss out. The arts offer so much more than entertainment—they nurture empathy, spark curiosity, and inspire young minds to connect with the world in meaningful and lasting ways.
Your donation helps AJT subsidize tickets for students and low-income families, cover the cost of transportation so schools can attend, present diverse international performances that broaden worldviews, offer study guides and teacher resources that connect performances to classroom learning, and give every child—no matter their background—a chance to dream big, think creatively, and experience the power of live performance.
Even better, when someone buys your donated item at FashionPact, they can choose another local Alaskan nonprofit (like AJT) to receive an additional 15% of the profit. That means your donation creates a ripple of kindness, reaching far beyond the stage.
Your gently used items can create unforgettable moments—from a child’s first gasp of wonder, to their laughter echoing through the theater, to students seeing beloved characters leaping from the page to the stage—it all starts with you.
It’s easy. It’s impactful. And it’s stylish. Donate today. Support tomorrow. Keep the giving going all year long.
