Good Morning Blanketeers,

Erie Gives Reminder

 

 

We are getting very excited because we are only one day away from August 9^th, when NWPA Project Linus will be taking part in a one day online event- ,Erie Gives from 8:00am – 8:00pm @ eriegives.org . As a 501-3c nonprofit we qualify and are registered for this fantastic local opportunity.

 

This event is growing every year, in fact there are many new nonprofits registered this year. 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 $2,632.00. Over all 7 Million dollars were raised in this 12 hours of fund raising here in Erie. That is an amazing amount and we continue to have a very generous Community.

 

Your generous donation to NWPA Project Linus would assist us to purchase blanket making materials, such as batting, flannel, cotton material, and yarn to help us meet the growing need in our Community of children in need.

 

NWPA Project Linus has just made an awesome milestone at the end of June, we have delivered over 59,634 blankets to children in need in our community since our beginning in 1998. Without the support of our volunteer Blanketeers, we would never have been able to reach so many children.
