There's more to knitting than you know!
Designers Against Aids and the gay-lesbian federation of Antwerp
teamed up with Belgian HIV and STD awareness organizations Sensoa and
The Pink House to organize an exclusive knitting benefit. The project
is called 'Knitting against AIDS' and wants to draw attention to the
international World AIDS Day on December 1st 2009.
The aim is simple: we want as many people as we can find to start
knitting an exclusive scarf, that will be decorated with a unique label
and sold as a fundraising product during the Take-Care-Week (the week
before World AIDS Day) in Antwerp. All net proceeds will be donated to
our cause and to the Care-for-AIDS Fund.
Famous fashion designers and artists will also take part in this
amazing event by creating their very own scarf, for which we will
organize a special auction. Celebrities will show off the scarves and
promote them during an exclusive photo shoot, of which the pictures
will surely attract the international media and help to encourage the
raising of funds.
