Crafty Fundraiser Aims to Boost STEAM Opportunities for Girls in Lambertville

April 27, 2026 - 23:47

LAMBERTVILLE — Crafters of all skill levels are invited to participate in a special fundraising event this Saturday, organized by the Women of Toledo Girls Hub, with all proceeds directly supporting STEAM education for girls in the region. The event, known as a “Crop,” offers a creative and social atmosphere where participants can work on their own projects—whether it’s scrapbooking, knitting, card-making, or any other hands-on craft—while contributing to a meaningful cause.

The gathering is open to the public and encourages attendees to bring their own supplies and unfinished projects. Organizers emphasize that no prior crafting experience is necessary, and beginners are warmly welcomed. The event will feature light refreshments, door prizes, and opportunities to connect with fellow craft enthusiasts who share a passion for empowering young women through science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

Proceeds from registration fees and any donations collected during the Crop will be funneled into Girls Hub programs that provide workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning experiences in STEAM fields. These initiatives aim to close the gender gap in these disciplines by fostering confidence and curiosity among girls from an early age. Organizers note that the arts component of STEAM is especially important, as it encourages creative problem-solving and design thinking.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a local community venue in Lambertville. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance to secure a spot, though walk-ins may be accommodated if space allows. For those unable to attend but still wishing to support the cause, online donation options are available through the Women of Toledo website. The organization hopes to make this an annual tradition, blending community crafting with a powerful investment in the next generation of female innovators.
