Hello Blanketeers,
Once again this year on Tuesday
August 11th, NWPA Project Linus has a very unique and exciting
opportunity to take part in this one day event- Erie Gives from
8:00am – 8:00pm @ Eriegives.org. We have qualified and are
registered for this event.
We would ask that if you
give to a charity throughout the year that you would consider donating to NWPA
Project Linus on that day. Last year our NWPA Project Linus raised with
your generous help nearly 700.00. Over all 2.5 Million dollars were raised in
this 12 hours of fund raising here in Erie. That is an incredible amount and we
continue to have a very generous Community.
Your donation to NWPA
Project Linus would assist us to purchase blanket making materials to help us
meet the growing need in our Community of children in need. Last year we gave
out 2,307 blankets to children in Hospitals, Shelters, Office of Children &
Youth Service and many Agencies that service Children.
