URBANA -- Students are spreading warmth to the community. On February 23, they're holding a Blanket-a-thon. It's one of the high school's service projects.

Students and staff will make 120 no-sew fleece blankets and pass them out to patients at the CU Dialysis Center. Students need your help before the big blanket event. They're looking for fleece or money donations to make them. 

You can drop donations off at the high school or the project coordinator will pick them up. They're also looking for snacks for the event if you would like to donate those.
