B4SMA's 15th Anniversary

Fifteen (15) years of B4SMA - Blankets for Spinal Muscular Atrophy kids. 15 years of blanket hugs. More than 2000 blankets sent. Countless yards of fabric, hundreds of thousands of spools of thread, hundreds of skeins of yarn, thousands of stuffed animals and little toys, hundreds of thousands of knots tied in fleece blankets, hours that add up to months that add up to years behind a sewing machine, still more hours of hand stitching loving stitched into every blanket ever sent attaching a B4SMA label and innumerable volunteer hours

poured out of the fingers of individuals from around the world. We would be nothing without our volunteers and they deserve all the credit for us reaching this milestone.15 years have come and gone and we're still here. We have so many people and groups who have volunteered over the years that it would be impossible to thank them all but a huge thank you nonetheless if you have ever supported B4SMA in any way shape or form. We have to, however, take a few lines to thank four of primary volunteers* for they are the behind the scenes, the backbone of everything that B4SMA. Gma Jlo, Aunt Jo'Quami, UNI B, DynamiTe, Poik Puller, BetsOn Point and our permanent guardian angel, Gram Losstitch (for their safety we're using invented nicknames). One day, someday, in the not too distant future, we will have fulfilled our mission of giving until a cure is found and we are no longer needed. Until then we will keep the warm fuzzies and signature blanket hugs coming.

*Volunteer profiles to come in the future. For now, know that all of the volunteers are family members of the vice president and president and dedicated to the kids of B4SMA more than anything else.
