This October, we will be continuing our annual tradition of adorning trees throughout downtown Bloomington with tree sweaters crafted by local fabric artists!
Each beautiful tree sweater is sponsored by a business, person, or organization committed to helping us provide meaningful alternatives to living with violence. Each tree sweater will have a sponsorship patch containing sponsor names and our 24/7 Help & Crisis Line phone number to be seen by tens of thousands of residents and many of the nearly 2 million annual visitors to Bloomington. It is imperative that we include our crisis number on the sponsorship patch because last year, our help & crisis line answered over 5,000 calls, and we provided nearly 7,000 nights of emergency shelter to survivors of domestic violence.
Can you help create a tree sweater for the 2022-2023 display?
Will you sponsor a tree sweater this year?
Thank you to our supporters!
We would like to thank our Volunteer Event Chair, Erin Hollinden, the fabric artists, and our current sponsors for all their support!
