Bearcat Carnival Success!

Here's to an awesomely successful Bearcat Carnival this past Friday! Our booth had a record year and we sold more than $800! Great job to everyone that helped taking shifts at the booth, made items to sell, or donated yarn or other items. Stitch for a Cause would not be as successful without the hard work of many, many people. Thanks!

As many of you know, this is the only fund-raiser we do all year (We receive no additional money from the school). We use our funds to purchase tools and materials (I just had to buy 5 packs of darning needles last week), as well as to fund special projects. Right now we are planning to make gift bags for the Center for Women and Families in Louisville. We had a number of beautiful scarves left over that we hope can be enjoyed by someone now that we are entering the fall. Check out pictures from the Carnival below!

Even more teddy bears--we had a few bears left over which we will donate to Kosair Children's Hospital here in Louisville.
