Long-time, very successful alumnae club or Alumnae Panhellenic Fundraisers?

I know of two long time Pi Phi fundraisers. One is the Sign of the Arrow Gift Shop in Ladue (outside of St. Louis). It more than 50 years old and was started as a fundraiser for the St. Louis Alumnae Club. They have supported many community organizations over the years as well as many Pi Phi endeavors. The other is also over 50 years old and is Christmas Village. It takes place in Nashville at the Fairgrounds and is a marketplace for arts and crafts as well as unique gift items. The club was recently honored for its devotion to the Bill Wilkerson Center at Vanderbilt. In its 52 years, the proceeds from Christmas Village have translated to 8.2 million in donations to local and Pi Phi philanthropies.

I'd love to put together a list of these kinds of fundraisers. I'm hoping that GCers can add to this list.
