Swap-O-Rama-Rama (SORR) is a non-profit clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing. Download sponsorship information.

SORR’s success relies on contributions of people and community businesses like you. Will you consider donating to the event? Our intention is to connect you with the community and to further network the world of DIY, reuse, sewing and crafting. All donations are tax deductible and the donor will receive a receipt (please let us know how much for). We will also display sponsors on our website and in advertisements where possible.

This year’s sponsors include:

• Community: The event brings together diverse contributors, artisans, volunteers, and do-it-yourself types, under a common idea that lasts well after the event is completed.
• Sustainability: Help break the cycle of throwaway through creative re-use.
