First, let us start off by sending out a BIG virtual thank you to all the knitters who participated in our 3rd annual Knit for Life event on Saturday, June 12, 2010! We had a great turnout, and a wonderful time knitting for such an amazing cause.
The event was a huge success! 43 knitters showed up to knit and show support. We collected 103 knitted hats!! And we raised over $600 for the American Cancer Society.
We are so proud of all of our friends and customers for helping out in such a big way.
We would like to send a special thank you 'shout out' to Mabel Somerville, who knit a whopping 50 chemo caps! Here is a great photo of Mabel modeling some of her lovely work!
Our goal was to knit 200 chemo caps this year, so we still need knitters to donate their time and talent to the cause! Also, we'd love to raise some more money, so if you're interested in donating or knitting a cap, call us at The Nest (304-848-2444)!
Last but not least, we would also like to thank our generous sponsors and donors:
Yost Paving
Gerardo, Jennifer, and Julia Lopez
Rachel Romano
Clarksburg Columbian Club
MCM Business Systems
And the donors of our lovely door prizes
Thanks again to everyone who made our 3rd annual Knit for Life a success!
