On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, Children’s Blankets of Love founders Barbara and Vic Marchioni had the honor of delivering 104 cozy blankets to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. As always, these blankets were met with heartfelt gratitude from the hospital’s dedicated social workers and childcare specialists, who see firsthand how small comforts can make a big difference in a child’s hospital stay.

Barbara and Vic were warmly welcomed by the hospital staff, who expressed deep appreciation for CBOL’s ongoing mission to provide comfort to young patients. Each blanket represents more than just warmth—it’s a reminder to children facing medical challenges that they are not alone. Whether it’s a newborn in the NICU, a child recovering from surgery, or a teenager undergoing treatment, these blankets provide a sense of security and care during difficult times.
