Nat

The Seattle/Tacoma Fiber Arts Avengers and Tacoma Actors Guild Outreach and Education will come together on December 9, 2006 in a charity Knit – a – Thon held at Tacoma Actors Guild from 9am-6pm.

The Fiber Arts Avengers project brings creative crafters together for a charitable cause. Until this point, the Avengers have worked to sponsor walkers in 3-day events for breast cancer research. On this, their third mission, they’re doing something a little bit different.

Nat is a three and a half year old boy recently diagonsed with an aggressive brain tumor. He’s been called the Professor since he was a newborn, and it suits him well. Proffer is a wonderful kid, he loves nursery rhymes and fairy tales. He loves to dance and sing and from infancy has always been very sure of himself and what he likes in life. More on Nat: /.

Monetary proceeds will benefit Nat and his family during this difficult time. Day-of-event items crafted during the Knit – A – Thon will be donated to the Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital Santa’s Workshop, providing holiday gift resources to the families of children receiving in-patient treatment.
