Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’ll have a booth in the Veterans’ Village at the Armed Forces Bowl this upcoming Saturday, December 23. The event is being held at the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. We’ll be there from 11:30am-2:30pm, so come on by and say, “Hi!” We’re there to raise awareness and donations for our cause. Our much loved wristbands, stress footballs, and t-shirts make for great holiday gifts that are both tax deductible and support our mission to offer a hand up to our nation’s underprivileged military veterans and their dependents! See you there!
Ideal Colors for Donations
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Please keep in mind that any garment that you intend to donate for the veterans and their dependents needs to be in darker colors like blue, black, green, grey, and camouflage. However, there are exceptions that we have found to be quite desired by our vets and their dependents, such as royal purple (as pictured) and deep red. Sports team color combinations are also popular and allow us to use some brighter colors as well!
We’ve Got Football Fever!
When serving in numerous Stand Downs, we have found that our underprivileged veterans have a tendency to avoid colorful garments because they are deemed too loud. We strive to give the veterans what they want, which are garments in blues, blacks, greens, grays, and (our most popular) camouflage. However, as crafters we love our colorwork! What is a T.H.R.I.V.E. crafter to do? We have a solution that has proven to be successful – Show some team spirit! Our staff has put together a handy chart of some popular football teams to help spur some inspiration! We’ve still got Stand Downs coming up, so please keep sending in your donations.
