Blanket Drive for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital | |

Join Ava Crowley and our youth in supporting cancer patients this September with the gift of a warm blanket.
“I volunteered at NCH Fux Family Center this past summer. There I helped patients and families feel better from treatment with games, books, comfort, we even helped with laundry. I would like to give blankets to these patients to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they are in the hospital. Will you join me and donate a blanket to a cancer patient in September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?" ~Ava Crowley.
Drop them off anytime through Sept 24. You can use the Wish List to order on Amazon or it can be any new, lightweight blanket. Thank you for your support!
