Knit for the Girls is coming 23-30 October

The fifth annual Knit for the Girls (KFTG) fundraiser is coming 23-30 October 2025, in support of life-saving research into breast cancer.
Thanks to the generosity of the fibre arts community over the last four years, we've raised $120,000 AUD for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and a further $105,000 CAD for Breast Cancer Canada & North American Breast Cancer Foundation, together with our fundraising partners Thread & Maple and the Grocery Girls in Canada.
Breast cancer has touched nearly all of us—whether personally or through someone we love. Through this fundraiser, our fibre arts community can come together to support research that saves lives.
The 2025 Australian KFTG fundraiser will be hosted on this page, with a one week online fundraiser commencing 23 October.
When you make a donation of $5 or more you'll be in the running to share in $20,000 worth of prizes donated by our incredible sponsors.
There's over 60 prizes this year (35 daily prizes + 26 grand prizes)!!!
Every donation of $5+ you make equates to one entry. So the more donations you make, the more chances you have to win.
Daily Prizes:
Every day from 24-30 October we will randomly draw 5 x daily prize winners from the list of the previous day’s donors. Eg. On 24 October we will randomly draw 5 daily prize winners from the list of donations made on 23 October. To be in the running for all 35 daily prizes you'll need to make a donation of $5 or more each day throughout the fundraiser.
Grand Prizes:
On 31st October we will randomly draw 26 x Grand Prize winners from the list of ALL donations/entries made throughout the course of the fundraiser.
All donations made via the page will receive a tax deductible receipt from NBCF.
Together, our fibre arts community can spark hope, raise life-saving funds, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Please scroll down to view our incredible prize pool in the Gallery,
You can also donate to the Canadian KFTG fundraiser for Breast Cancer Canada here.
In the meantime stay tuned for lots more special KFTG activities from our Sponsors and if you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact Karina on hello@louieandlolayarns.com.au.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. It came as a huge shock to me. Successfully navigated both Radiology and Chemotherapy and so far so good. To all the brave women out there, it can be a tough road.
