Introducing our third annual fundraising campaign – official launch date of November 12, 2024
We hope this message finds you well and cozy! First off, a huge thank you for all the support you’ve shown us over the years – whether it’s been through your generous donations, attending our fundraisers, or cheering us on with love. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you!
We’re thrilled to share that the past year has been another incredible one for the Crochet Club!
As of September 20, 2024, we’ve donated an amazing 1,368 blankets to our community agencies, including 220 baby blankets, 567 lap blankets, 577 full-sized blankets , and even 22 silent auction blankets. This brings our grand total to a heartwarming 19,115 blankets donated since we started in 2002, including in 306 pet blankets this year alone. Talk about spreading love and warmth!
While we have been fortunate to receive many generous yarn donations, ensuring we can continue making blankets will eventually require purchasing more yarn, And as you know, yarn prices have continued to rise. This is why we need your help to keep our mission going strong!
Our fundraising goal for 2024/2025? We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to cover yarn and other expenses, so we can continue crocheting blankets and sharing them with those who need them most. Your support – in a any amount – will make a world of difference!
We’ll be tracking our progress towards the $10,000 goal in our monthly newsletter. If you’re not already on our mailing list , please visit our website under the “Current Newsletter” section to stay up to date!
