Westminster Girls Tennis Teams Make Blankets for Local Children

Members of the Westminster Christian Academy girls tennis teams recently volunteered their time after school to make fleece tie blankets for donation to Project Linus.

“The Project Linus service project was more successful than we could have ever hoped, dreamed or prayed for,” said JV Head Coach Elizabeth Barker. “There were girls and blankets all over the place, music playing, girls laughing, and everyone helping each other for this amazing service project. We made a total of 38 blankets in just two short hours.”

Project Linus is a local non-profit organization that collects and distributes blankets to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. The organization provides a unique service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities for the benefit of children.

The blankets made by the Westminster student athletes will be distributed to children at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Mercy Hospital, Cardinal Glennon Hospital, Ronald McDonald Houses, and other organizations.
