2025 May Newsletter

Spring is Here - and So Is the Fundraising Season!

We've made it through another winter, and spring has finally arrived!  It's been a wonderful year so far, and we're thrilled to share that our chapter is quickly approaching a huge milestone within the next few months:  40,000 blankets distributed since we began in 2007.  What an incredible achievement - and it's all thanks to your continued support! 

We are also thrilled to announce that we recently received a generous grant from South Jordan Walmart!  We're incredibly grateful for their commitment to our community - this funding will go a long way in helping us continue our mission.  We're hopeful that more local Walmart stores will follow their lead!

This month's newsletter is all about fundraising and ways to help our chapter.  Keep reading to learn how you, your family, and your friends can help us keep the momentum going.

2025 April Newsletter 🐰

Welcome spring!  While the weather is warming up, there are still many children who can find comfort through our blanket donations.  March was another successful month, with 265 blankets received and 290 blankets distributed to the organizations we support. 

In this month's newsletter, we celebrate Women's History Month (albeit a month late) by honoring the incredible women who founded our chapter and helped us reach where we are today.  You'll also learn about two of the organizations we support and as always, get a look at the blankets we've received this month.
