DMS invites all to attend their 3rd annual garage sale fundraiser

{69C1A719-A230-4653-9B4C-5A0476B2103E}Caymanian business conglomerate DMS once again proves that community involvement and good business go hand in hand with the approach of their third annual garage sale in support of the Cayman Islands Humane Society. The garage sale takes place on Saturday June 1st at Kirk Supermarket’s parking lot from 6am – 9am.

DMS encourages the community to do a little spring cleaning at home and to come out and participate. It’s historically been a fun and busy event with approximately 30 people registered to sell and lots and lots of shoppers looking for good bargains! Participating vendors contribute $25 to reserve their space to sell for the morning and they get to keep whatever they earn for the day.  To raise additional awareness DMS Broadcasting donates a campaign leading up to the day and broadcasts live on the day of the event. Saxon MG and DMS staff also coordinate a booth of donated items to sell and raise money for the shelter.

This year an exciting game of Adoption Lotto will also be taking place during the garage sale. There will be a bin of fun cuddly numbered plush cats and dogs which you can purchase for $5. Each will have a corresponding random prize assigned to it. You might win a sunset cruise by Red Sail Sports or you might win a lollipop! It’s all luck of the draw and part of the fun! The DMS Gives Back committee is currently looking for business members of the community to make donations of prizes to support these efforts both small and large prizes are needed.

The DMS Gives Back committee raised $1250 last year through booth registration fees, selling donated items and the raffle. DMS then generously matched the funds collected, culminating in a total of $2500 donated for the Cayman Islands Humane Society. The committee’s event and charity group coordinator Mindy Kimball said “At DMS, we recognize that corporate responsibility and success go hand in hand. Annually, we make substantial donations to various community and civic causes, as well as encourage our employees to be active corporate citizens through volunteering and coordinating events like this. We have had a fabulous response to this event and look forward to raising even more funds this year for Cayman Islands Humane Society and their efforts.” The funds raised from this year’s garage sale will be utilized for the Humane Society’s latest spay and neuter campaign initiative which DMS is proud to support.
