Highlights and Happenings

Take me out to the ball park . . . everyone's going to be there!

The 2009 season of Stitch N' Pitch is into full swing!  Last year, twenty-six major baseball clubs, many U.S. Minor League clubs, as well as a Chinese club, teamed up with The National NeedleArts Association (TNNA) to bring together two of America's favorite past times . . . baseball and stitching!

The games continue to raise awareness of the needlearts, while they are also raising funds for TNNA's Needle Arts Mentoring ProgramTM. This program, a project of the Helping Hands Foundation brings mentors and young people together to share a healthy habit - the needlearts.
