• Knit for the Girls - Breast Cancer Fundraiser 2023

October 05, 2023

Welcome to our 3rd annual fundraiser in the fight against breast cancer 'Knit for the Girls'.

Join us, together with Sam & Olga of Thread and Maple and Tracie & Jodi of the Grocery Girls to raise funds for life-saving breast cancer research.

Here's what we've got going:

  • Online fundraisers in both Australia and Canada, with multiple fibre-tastic daily raffle prizes between 21st - 28th October. 
  • 22 incredible grand prizes, featuring luxurious yarn & accessories from some of Australia's & Canada's finest indie dyers, mills & fibre artist suppliers.
  • A new limited edition 'Knit for the Girls' bundle, available for purchase at 12noon AEDT, 28th October in our shop, with $30AUD from the sale of each bundle donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia (which will also available for purchase in the Thread & Maple and Grocery Girls online stores).
  • A 'Tassie Boob's make-a-long (MAL) in the Louie & Lola Yarns Ravelry Group where we will knit & crochet breast prosthetics for survivors from 21st October  - 30th November (including a kit with everything you need to knock out some knitted knockers!)  There is also a Knitted Knockers MAL being hosted by Thread & Maple and the Grocery Girls in North America.  Check it out here.

    It’s hard to find a member of this tight-knit community who hasn’t been impacted by breast cancer, be it personally or through a family member or friend.

    Let's unite to show support for this important cause. 

    Proudly Supporting


    The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organization funding world-class breast cancer research towards the vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.  We are proud to be a corporate fundraiser.

    Breast Cancer Canada provides funding for researchers in cancer centers, universities and laboratories across the country. It receives no government funding, all the research is driven through the generosity of donors.

    Tassie Boobs for Breast Cancer rallies Aussie knitters and crocheters to hand-make natural breast prosthetics for cancer survivors who've undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy.

    Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Volunteer knitters provide these free to breast cancer survivors.

    FAQ

    How do I enter the online fundraisers?

    Every $5+ donation to our National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) online fundraiser page between 21st - 28th October counts as one entry into the following day's raffle prize draw. We will select one daily winner from all of the previous day's donations.  All donors who contribute throughout the week are entered into the Australian grand prize drawings. You can also enter the North American raffles by donating via the Knit for the Girls Breast Cancer Canada fundraiser page. 

    Where & when can I buy the 'Knit for the Girls' bundles?

    'Knit for the Girls' bundles will go on sale in our shop here at 12noon AEDT, Saturday 28th October.  They will be priced at $218 AUD, with $30 from the sale of every bundle being donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

    The bundles will also be available for purchase at www.grocerygirlsknit.com and www.threadandmaple.com at 12noon EDT, Saturday 28th October.

    Please note that bundle quantities will be strictly limited.

    Which fundraiser should I donate to?

    This is a team effort to raise as much as possible for breast cancer research. Donations in the Aussie NBCF fundraiser will gain you entries into the Aussie raffle prize drawings and donations to the BCC fundraiser will gain you entries into the North American prize drawings. Regardless of where you live, you can contribute to both.
