Creator and Organizer / Redd Up Thread Up, a community clothing swap
Redd Up Thread Up is a bi-annual event which is held in different locations throughout Pittsburgh with a different benefiting organization each time the event is held. 100% of the proceeds of Redd Up Thread Up is donated to the benefiting organization. Funds are collected when participants sift through the collection of donated goods and “shop” using a Redd Up Thread Up tote bag which can be purchased for $5-$10, depending on prior donation. Redd Up Thread Up receives fiscal sponsorship from New Sun Rising.
