- Do you create beautiful crafts and art that you could donate?
- Are you a fantastic bargain shopper willing to donate some of your findings?
- Did you go overboard at Costco last year, leaving you with extra winter-themed wrapping paper, tape, gift boxes, or grocery bags?

Vendor Space Details:
- Date & Time: Saturday, December 5, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- Location: Cynwyd Elementary School Gym, 101 W Levering Mill Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004
- Table Fee: Free ($0)
- Space Provided: One 6-foot or 8-foot table space. (Please let us know if you require a specific setup).
- Equipment: Vendors must provide their own tables, chairs, and display setups. 1 hour set up time provided.
- Payment Methods: Please be prepared to accept Cash and/or Tap to Pay. These work best for our gym location, which has limited cellular service (Unfortunately Venmo can be unreliable).
- Fundraising Partnership: In lieu of a vendor fee, we ask that our vendors consider a donation back to the Cynwyd HSA (either a percentage of the day’s gross sales or a flat amount). Typical donations range from 10% to 20%. While this is not a mandatory requirement for participation, it directly supports our students and is a key factor in our final vendor selection.
