A special Thank You to my mom, Janet, who tirelessly sews labels on the fleece binkies and helps deliver the blankets, hats, mittens, shawls and scarves received here at the chapter! I couldn't do what I do without her help and support.



March 28, 2018: Sadly Donna lost her mother to a long illness. While at her bedside at the hospital, Donna spent many many hours, and while there picked up her crochet hook and made blankets. Her daughter soon got involved as well as other family members. Donna made a huge donation of 108 Binkies in March 2017 on what would have been her mother's birthday. Donna and her daughter have decided to make this an annual event in honor of her mother.

This year, Donna and Amanda have done it again! Thank you so much for your wonderful donation of 57 Binkies and 8 stuffed animals! Your tireless efforts are so appreciated!

In April 2017 we had another wonderful BAT when we partnered again with Philips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. The volunteers were amazing and in just over an hour they tied 37 fleece blankets! We have already marked our calendars for next year's event! 
 
 
 
With the April 2018 B-A-T in mind, if anyone is interested in donating FLEECE for the event, we would welcome any donations or gift cards to JoAnn Fabrics where we could purchase the fleece. Our chapters rely on donations in kind to make the blankets, so any help is greatly appreciated!
