Updated prizes on September 11.
On September 15, our family will be walking in the Buddy Walk to
support the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. Last
year, the Cincinnati Buddy Walk was the largest in the nation. All
proceeds from this event benefit the DSAGC, which provides support to families and individuals who have been touched by Down syndrome.
You can sponsor me or our team, walk with us, or donate a prize. Please visit our team page, the link is below, to sponsor us or to join our team.
If you sponsor us or join our team, you are eligible to win prizes of yarny goodness. Each donation you make will enter you into the drawing. On Monday, September 17, I will use a random number generator to pick the winners. The prizes so far:
1) 1 450 yard skein of my handpainted sock yarn in the Pawpaw’s Plum Tree colorway.
2) 350 yards (2 skeins) of Shelridge Farm Ultra Touch Handpaint in a light pink and cream colorway.
3) 350 yards (2 skeins) of Shelridge Farm Ultra Touch Handpaint in a dark pink, grey, and cream colorway.
