About Fleece & Thank You
Fleece & Thank You believes in creating a better world for children suffering in the hospital. The healing connection they foster by linking blanket makers to children with illnesses allows us to cheer them on at the starting line of their treatment journey. They work with local groups to make blankets and video messages, and then they deliver the blankets to warriors in the hospital. Our goal is a simple one: every child in every hospital bed receiving much-needed hope in the form of a colorful, fleece blanket and a friendly face at the start of treatment. We aim to serve the state of MI and Northern OH with 30,000 blankets every year, one for every child that enters the hospital for treatments.
