Happy Labor Day Blanketeers !!!!

                                                                      

  A huge Thank you goes out to the many people that donated on August 12^th for the Erie Gives Day. The funds received will go a long way in blanket making materials. We hope in the coming year to make more people aware of NWPA Project Linus, and the good that we are doing for those in need in our Community.

The following is just in this morning from Project Linus National HQ. We are being asked to forward this information onto our Blanketeers.

Take the Project Linus Baby Toes Challenge!

Instead of an Ice Bucket Challenge, we’re calling it “The Project Linus Baby Toes Challenge.” Let’s see how many Warm Hugs for Baby Toes we can create in September!

How it Works !!!!

If you are able, make a donation of $10 - $25 to Project Linus. That’s it! Then share this message with 5 of your friends and ask them to do the same thing. We can easily reach tens of thousands of people who only need to make a small donation — and we can make this our own viral challenge. We’ll put updates on this page to track how we are doing.

In the comment section please indicate that you would like your contribution to go to the NWPA Project Linus Chapter.
