Saving boobs, that is! The Knitters for Knockers team is at it again, ready to raise a bunch of money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.<br /><br />The race is Saturday, May 7 in downtown Richmond. Here's how you can help:<br /><br />1. <a href="http://centralva.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/RIC_CentralVirginiaAffiliate?team_id=152416&pg=team&fr_id=2108">Donate!</a> Your donation is tax-deductible and MUCH APPRECIATED!<br /><br />2. Join the team! Click <a href="http://centralva.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/RIC_CentralVirginiaAffiliate?team_id=152416&pg=team&fr_id=2108">here</a> to join our team. Can't make the race? You can Sleep In For the Cure as well.<br /><br />3. Donate! Did I say that already? It's that important!<br /><br />In prior years we've run a raffle, but we're finding that it's been less successful, so we're going to forgo it this year. We still need your donations though - Knitters for Knockers has consistently been a top fundraising team and we need your help in 2011! <a href="http://centralva.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/RIC_CentralVirginiaAffiliate?team_id=152416&pg=team&fr_id=2108">Please donate now!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7990177922105145600-4555548463977765562?l=knittersforknockers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10452551461568413864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990177922105145600.post-72598983496479902642010-01-27T12:49:00.008-05:002010-03-17T20:41:00.283-04:00Here are the prizes...for every $5 you donate to the Knitters for Knockers team, your name will be entered into the raffle to win!<br /><br /><br /><b>From <a href="http://www.theyarnlounge.com">The Yarn Lounge</a> in Richmond, VA...</b><br /><br />Gift certificate to The Yarn Lounge<br /><br /><br /><b>From <a href="http://www.bluemoonfiberarts.com">Blue Moon Fiber Arts</a>...</b><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5XfQJTuI/AAAAAAAAATU/T91wLPCDTSg/s1600-h/hot_flash_an_sk.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 87px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5XfQJTuI/AAAAAAAAATU/T91wLPCDTSg/s320/hot_flash_an_sk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442241012901170914" /></a><br />Skein of Hot Flash<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5ktowYNI/AAAAAAAAATc/T48jNz1ZndY/s1600-h/valentino_sk.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 87px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5ktowYNI/AAAAAAAAATc/T48jNz1ZndY/s320/valentino_sk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442241240100790482" /></a><br />Skein of Valentino<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5sqagGEI/AAAAAAAAATk/gWvcMPI6u9o/s1600-h/valentina_sk.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 87px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S4a5sqagGEI/AAAAAAAAATk/gWvcMPI6u9o/s320/valentina_sk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442241376674650178" /></a><br />Skein of Valentina<br /><br /><br /><b>From Melanie...</b><br />A snowflake lace sock kit - the yarn in this kit will be <b>Wollmeise</b> (80 Himbeere) - a bright vibrant pink!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S2B9Zfv3iCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/oi4FNGZ5_Zg/s1600-h/snowflake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_msbjNDlO80c/S2B9Zfv3iCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/oi4FNGZ5_Zg/s320/snowflake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431479027581290530" /></a><br /><br /><br /><b>From <a href="http://www.cookiea.com">CookieA Knitwear Designs</a>...</b><br />2 $10 gift certificates<br /><br /><br /><b>From Gina...</b><br />A skein of Yarntini Fingering Weight 50-50 merino tencel in Refresh!

You can donate <a href="http://www.komenrichmond.org/site/TR?team_id=3650&fr_id=1060&pg=team" target="blank">here</a>. Just click on "Support Knitters for Kockers!"
