✨ 100% OF TICKET SALES GO DIRECTLY TO THREAD TOGETHER ✨

Every ticket purchased directly supports Thread Together’s vital mission to provide brand-new clothing and a dignified fresh start to women escaping domestic violence. Please keep this in mind when choosing your tier - if you are in a position to purchase a standard or solidarity ticket, doing so ensures vital funds reach the cause while keeping our limited free hardship allocation strictly open for those in genuine, urgent financial need!
