Make Your Donations a Slam Dunk!

We at T.H.R.I.V.E. Association have always strived to provide crafted garments for our underprivileged veterans in styles and colors that they prefer. And while we encourage all of our crafting donors to mainly make their garments in blacks, blues, browns, greys, and the ever popular camouflage, we all sometimes yearn to do some fun colorwork. So, the million dollar question is, “How can we add some bright colors to our garments that our veterans would still love to wear?” Sports teams!

We posted earlier about football team colors and now we’ve made a handy basketball team color chart to make it even easier to find some more combinations that can appeal to our wonderful veterans and those whom they support. Please remember that Stand Downs happen year-round across the country, so we always need your help and donations to provide the vital supplies and services that our vets and their dependents need at these events. Thank you for your continued support and interest. Happy crafting!


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.
