Snow Ball Express 2023
The holidays can be especially challenging for grieving families. Each December, The Gary Sinise Foundation hosts a five-day experience for over 1,500 children of military and emergency workers that have given their lives serving our country and communities. With special time to honor their fallen loved ones and a blend of fun entertainment and inspiring programs, these families can lean on their peers for support. Which is why the foundation keeps bringing Snowball Express back to Walt Disney World® Resort each year!

Project Linus chapters across the country commit to providing blankets to the children served at this event. The blankets are one more way of providing comfort to these children. More info about blanket specifications is on our website and in the newsletter.
Remember they are due to drop off locations by October 1.
We’ve committed 50 blankets locally, but I’m hearing that many of you are busy working on blankets AND we’ve not met the need nationally for blankets yet, so I’m increasing that commitment to 75 blankets.
WE NEED $$$$$ in order to mail these blankets to be given out at this event. If you would like to donate, please send a check to Project Linus, c/o Deb Miller, 365 Dean Dr., Ten Mile, TN 37880 with a note in the memo section – SNOWBALL EXPRESS POSTAGE.
Our chapter has ALWAYS supported Snowball Express. When I talk to volunteers, they, as I, feel passionate about supporting our military families. I’m sure many of you do, too. Thanks as always for your support of Project Linus of East TN.
