Hello! Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page!

The great folks at WEBS have made my pattern available so you can make your own Hot Chocolate Run Polar Bear, and every penny of the pattern price is donated to Safe Passage! I’ll keep track of all those pattern sales here so you can all see just how much of an impact one bitty-little pattern can have J

You can join the #PolarBearKAL (Knit Along) on the WEBS Blog here:

It starts October 2 but you can join in at any time! And once you’ve finished your very own Hot Chocolate Run Polar Bear you might consider donating it, to be given to a child needing the services offered by Safe Passage. So not only will the cost of the pattern you purchased help support the victims of domestic violence but your bear can offer comfort to a child in their time of need.

Finished Polar Bears can be sent to:

WEBS –

Attn: HCR Polar Bear

6 Industrial Parkway

Easthampton, MA 01027

You can also join in on out #HotChocolateHolidays workshops where you’ll get to craft all kinds of goodies to help fill your gift lists and help Safe Passage at the same time. You can read more about these workshops here:

Here are some ways Safe Passage will put your gift to work:

$30: Resources, support and hope for a woman calling the 24-hour hotline
$55: A survivor's first counseling session. For many of Safe Passage's clients, this is the first time they've felt heard. It's the first time in years that they've felt hopeful.
$120: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$225: Information, advice and support for a survivor facing a divorce or custody dispute
$500: Healing counseling for a child who has witnessed violence

You can make a difference for families affected by domestic violence. I hope you’ll join me!
