WOVEN
Knitting Factory is proud to announce WOVEN, a philanthropic initiative developed to give back to our local communities in meaningful ways. Why WOVEN? At Knitting Factory, we aim to be as much a part of the community as the music itself. By weaving music into the fabric of everyday life, we believe we can contribute to the overall happiness and vitality of our community.At Knitting Factory, music isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about building relationships, creating memories, and enhancing overall well-being. Whether through live performances by local artists, intimate acoustic sessions, or collaborative community events, Knitting Factory strives to provide a space where music flourishes and connections are made.
A portion of every ticket sold will be donated on an annual basis to carefully selected partners in Boise, Idaho and Spokane, Washington where our flagship venues are located. The goal of WOVEN is twofold: to raise awareness for these outstanding organizations and to provide direct funding that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community. By giving back to the communities that have embraced and supported Knitting Factory over the years, we strive to foster a spirit of collaboration and collective well-being.
Boise, ID – 2024:
We were able to save $31,825 to be split between two of our favorite local charities, Camp Rainbow Gold and Idaho Rivers United.
More about @camprainbowgold
Camp Rainbow Gold offers free camps to kids facing cancer and to their families. This is an opportunity to take a break from the cancer diagnosis and experience joy and build friendships. This has made a difference in so many children’s lives because experiences define a childhood; cancer should not.
