Roll Up N Dye Gives Back

• Community Support: We encourage all participants to add a project that supports our medical partners. Options include tie-dying the bag that holds art kits for children at Walter Reed Medical Center, or creating head coverings for patients undergoing treatments. Some of our recipients include:  The Ulman House, and the Johns Hopkins Child Life Center. This activity extends your team’s efforts beyond the workshop, touching the lives of those in medical need.

Roll Up N Dye has a grant from the Walter Reed Society to curate art and activity kits. Kits also contain kindness, gratitude, and empowerment activities. We will be tie dyeing with the kids there this summer. 

We value connection and wholeheartedness. We incorporate tie dyeing in a variety of workshops, classes, and in our volunteering.

We facilitate team building workshops, teach at the library, and participate in a variety of community engagement activities. We volunteer to teach tie dye workshops at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.

We are part of Grateful Heads, an international network of tie-dye artists who get together for 4 days each summer to create an average of 800 bandanas. The bandanas are given for free to anyone undergoing medical treatments. During tie-dye parties and workshops, participants have the opportunity to create handmade cards that we donate along with the bandanas. We also have a party upgrade available for any party and workshop participants who would like to dye head coverings to donate. We have donated to a variety of non-profits. Since 2018, we have donated use of tapestries, dyed by Erin, to Unified for their annual Hoodstock Charity Music Fest and to LoveLight Yoga & Arts Festival.

*According to Dr. Brené Brown, “Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough.” You can ready more in her books or the article, “10 Guideposts for Wholehearted Living by Dr. Brené Brown“
