Wait, what is the Knitathon?

The “Knitathon” is a fundraiser we organize for the Athens Area Homeless Shelter (AAHS).

Fiber lovers purchase a “registration” ticket to attend the event. 100% of registration sales, raffle, and swag proceeds go directly to AAHS. We typically raise around $4,000, and hope we can do that again this year!

During the Knitathon we bring our favorite yarny projects to work on, we chat, listen to music, snack, and just have a wonderful time together as a fiber community!

Bonuses: Raffle prizes! Limited edition yarn! Cute t-shirts! Enamel pins!

This event means a lot to us. Giving back any way we can is at the heart of Revival Yarns. We hope you can join us!

If you would like to learn more about AAHS' programs, or volunteer opportunities here is a link to the AAHS Website. You can also follow them on social media @helpathenshomeless. Rebecca Blankenship is the AAHS Community Engagement Coordinator. If you have additional questions about how to help, you can email her at rblankenship@helpathenshomeless.org.

Thank you for always making this a special event!

See you soon!!!!
