Update #1: Goal Completed! But please still give.

Posted on August 12, 2009

Wow! That was fast. The goal has been reached after only an hour!

But that doesn't mean it's all over. The more donors, the more blankets made. Each blanket is made up of squares "donated" by 16 donors. It's not necessarily about how much you give but more about how many people give.

And thanks to Matt for your insanely generous donation!
