At Children’s Blankets of Love, we believe in the power of community—and when generosity meets determination, incredible things happen. This was proven through our recent partnership with Blue Strength Training in Raleigh, where athletes pushed themselves for a cause, resulting in a heartwarming donation to UNC Children’s Hospital.
Led by David Blue, the gym hosted a unique “Sleigh” Contest, where athletes competed to push their body weight on a sled the farthest distance. To enter, each participant donated a blanket, turning fitness into an opportunity to give back. The contest not only inspired friendly competition but also a spirit of generosity, with Blue Strength Training raising 50 blankets for hospitalized children.
On delivery day, CBOL and David Blue hand-delivered 150 blankets to UNC Children’s Hospital. The hospital staff welcomed the donation with open arms, expressing deep gratitude for the warmth and comfort these blankets will bring to their young patients.
