Last year, Save the Children asked knitters and crocheters to raise their voice and use their skills to help save the lives of millions of children by through our Caps to the Capital Campaign. We received over 280,000 baby caps and almost 11,000 personal notes to President Bush asking him to do more to save the lives of the nearly 10 million children who die under the age of 5 every year from preventable or treatable diseases.

Now, we want to send the same message to the NEXT president of the United States and you can help us by participating in Caps to the
Candidates. Knit one baby cap, attach a signed note asking the candidate to prioritize global child survival and give/mail it to your favorite presidential candidate. Together, we can remind them that Americans care about children around the world and we want the next president to do more to help save their lives.
