For my Gold Award, I made 20 sets of matching no-sew fleece blankets and hats, along with 5 extra hats. I chose eight boy prints, eight girl prints, and four unisex prints. The goal of my project was to address the needs of sick children at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, specifically those with cancer.
In the United States about 12,060 children under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer this year and 1,340 are expected to die from it. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States one to fourteen years old. The reason I chose to do this project was to make a positive impact on my community by reaching out to those in need. Wolfson's is a non-profit hospital that treats children, whether or not their families can pay. It was my goal to aid the hospital in caring for sick children. I believe that the best way for me to help my community, and Wolfson's, was to make blankets and hats to donate. I hope the impact I made was one that helps my community, specifically benefitting those at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. My goal was to make an impact on those going through a difficult time at Wolfson's. The families at Wolfson's are in need of help and my Gold Award was an opportunity for me to provide that help.

Do you happen to have a pattern that you used for both your blankets and hats? My daughter is looking into doing something like this for her gold award. Please email at anne.glogowski@discoveryacademy.org. Thanks so much!!!
