I emailed CURE.org last night after a conversation with a friend left me wondering if they will even accept/use the hats we crochet. The response I got said that while they do NOT generally accept hat donations throughout the year, they DO do a "Knit for a CURE" campaign in February, during which time they collect as many hats as they can.
I don't think this should dissuade us from crocheting hats to donate to CURE. I signed up to receive notification of the start of the next "Knit for a CURE" campaign. I think we should crochet our little hearts out all year, then when the campaign starts we will have even more hats to donate.
In the meantime, if desired, we can also find another charity to help. A friend and I came up with the idea of creating bracelets to sell and donating the money to The TREVOR Project. I love this idea. When Carolyn finishes our logo, I'm planning on putting it on products on Cafepress. My thought was use half the money we make on Cafepress to buy yarn, and donate the rest to CURE. What do you all think?
