Welcome Friends! We’re excited to invite you to take part in the 2026 Knit for the Girls (KFTG) fundraiser, happening October 23–31, 2026, now in its 6th year! 🎉
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised over $319,000 CAD ($233,000 USD) over the last five years of fundraising for breast cancer research—half supporting groundbreaking efforts in the US and Canada and the other half funding life-saving research in Australia.
Breast cancer has touched nearly all of us—whether personally or through someone we love. Through this fundraiser, our fiber arts community can come together to support research that saves lives.
This Year’s Event
Join us, Thread and Maple, Tracie & Jodi of the Grocery Girls and Karina Moore of Louie & Lola Yarns to once again raise funds for life-saving breast cancer research
From October 23-31st, everyone who makes a donation of $5 or more to our Breast Cancer Fundraiser will be entered into daily and grand prize raffle draws to win one of dozens of fiber-tastic prizes - made possible with donations from dozens of generous sponsors in our community! This year, we have over 50 sponsors so far - listed below - so our prize pool is positively overflowing with incredible goodies!
Here's what we've got going on:
✨ Fiber-tastic raffle prizes for donors to the North American & Australian fundraisers awarded daily from October 23rd to 30th.

Meet Our Wonderful Sponsors
With 1 in 8 women diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s hard to find a member of this tight-knit community who hasn’t been impacted--be it personally or through a family member or friend.
That's why we're coming together again to raise fund towards the goal of ZERO deaths from breast cancer!
Your contributions will support Breast Cancer Canada and National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia, both of which fund world-class breast cancer researchers. We wholeheartedly stand behind their vision of no deaths from breast cancer, and want to do all we can to help make that vision a reality.
Let's unite to show support for this important cause.
