For 13 years, a group of folks connected to the Real Estate industry in Maine have put together a huge yard sale for a great cause.

Sarah Robinson used to be a real estate agent in the Bangor area, when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2010.

Along with an incredible support system, Robinson worked towards a goal of establishing a Cancer Hospitality Center in Holden called Sarah's House of Maine, where folks who were traveling long distances for treatment at the Lafayette Cancer Center in Brewer, could some and stay nearby while undergoing their procedures.

Sadly, Robinson passed away in December of 2011, 3 years shy of seeing her dream become a reality. But her vision to create a place of peace for patients and their caregivers was realized in 2014, and has been thriving since.

Sarah's House runs solely on donations. For over a decade, thousands of dollars of donations have been raised by her fellow real estate agents, in her honor.
