\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 June 23, 2011 \u2013 Despite some rain, the eighth annual Rhody the Ram Charity Yard Sale had another successful year, raising 20 percent more funds than in 2010. The fundraiser, which raised nearly $3,500, benefits local charities, and the Rhody the Ram Endowment, a scholarship fund for students who serve as the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s mascot.<\/p>\n


\nThe yard sale earned $600 more than last year, with a $300 increase in the pre-sale.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThink big. We did,\u201d said co-coordinator Gerri Beagle, human resources and business manager of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation. \u201cAll in all it was a good day \u2013 lots of people, lots of bargains. After the rain came, it was stuff a bag for $3 so lots of people even though they got wet, went home with lots of bargains.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nCommunity members were encouraged to set up their own tables at the yard sale for a fee of $25 each. The yard sale raised $500 from this component alone.<\/p>\n


\nA food drive held three weeks prior to the yard sale collected 1,500 pounds of food, a 300-pound increase from last year. The food, along with 29 large bags of summer clothing, was donated to the Jonnycake Center.<\/p>\n


\nSeveral large bags of blankets and towels were donated to the Exeter Animal Shelter.<\/p>\n


\nAll remaining items after the yard sale were donated to Big Sisters of Rhode Island.<\/p>\n
