Why SOCKtember?
2020 was the first year of this fun, new Annual Competitive Sock Raising Event! Last year, in the middle of all the shut-downs, Jon and his team were looking for a way to connect with people. The shut-downs made it harder than ever for us to meet-up in person. Their hope was to create a March Madness type of theme. Businesses working together in their community to Do Good, while competing in a fun way! This was a way for them to reach out to their clients and friends, and even keep their own Team engaged.
This year's event has expanded! Some of the people who donated last year decided to create their own Sock Raising Team! This year we have businesses participating outside of Washington State, even into Canada.
Everyone LOVES New Socks!!
Jon says that he chose SOCKS for more than one reason. First of all, it's easy to pick-up an extra pair of socks when shopping. Businesses who want to participate can even order pallets of socks and have them sent in! New, clean socks are something that most of us take for granted. With the colder, Winter months right around the corner - everyone can use a new pair of socks! They were able to raise a total of over 5,500 New Socks last year! That meant they were able to bring a significant number of socks to local charities, who were so grateful for the donation.
