What is a Bink-A-Thon?

A Bink-A-Thon is an event where a large group gathers for one day to make as many blankets as possible to be given to a local shelter or hospital. There are stations set up for sewing, tying the blankets off with yarn, painting squares (younger children love this part) and just organizing the fabric.

Last year's Bink-A-Thon (BAT) involved 14 states and produced over 2500 blankets within 6 hours. Money was raised to help offset costs for each chapter - batting, yarn, postage stamps and printing of promotional materials to gain more volunteers.
