Knit for the Girls (KFTG) is an annual fibre arts community breast cancer research fundraiser, now in it's 6th year.

Over the past five years we've raised $186,000 AUD for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (Australia) and a further $146,000 CAD for Breast Cancer Canada & North American Breast Cancer Foundation.

Breast cancer has touched nearly all of us—whether personally or through someone we love. Through this fundraiser, our fibre arts community can come together to support research that saves lives.

This is the 2026 Knit for the Girls 'Down Under' Information Page.

Our Fundraiser Page on the National Breast Cancer Foundation website will 'go live' on 1st October 2026.E
