Mission: Fleece & Thank You believes in creating a better world for children suffering in the hospital. Our mission is to provide donors the unique opportunity to give comfort and hope to children by creating a fleece blanket and a personalized video message. The healing connection we foster by linking blanket makers to children with illnesses allows us to cheer them on at the starting line of their treatment journey. We work with local groups to help them make blankets and video messages, and then we deliver those to 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.
