CALGARY – It’s not your usual way of raising money but that didn’t stop the Little Hippies Foundation as they held a Knit-A-Thon all day Saturday at Eau Claire Plaza.
People gathered to knit scarves, mitts and toques for roughly seven hours to raise money for Calgary-based organization The Little Hippies Foundation’s 2016 programs and mental health initiatives.
