About the Oakland White Elephant Sale

The White Elephant Sale—presented and organized by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board—is the largest fundraiser for the Oakland Museum of California.

With nearly 1000 volunteers contributing countless hours to sell millions of donated items, the Women’s Board has raised over $29 million dollars in support of OMCA through the sale. A substantial portion of these proceeds supports OMCA for operating and program support each year.

The Women’s Board, organized in 1955 as a support group of The Oakland Museum Association, has raised money in support of the Museum for over 60 years.

Sign up for the Oakland Museum Women’s Board email list for up-to-date information about the sale date and details.
