Our Sponsors
The Linus Connection is a small non-profit organiztion. Most of the supplies used to make Linus blankets for Central Texas children are purchased with donated funds. Without the following people and organizations, helping local children in need would not be possible. For this, we thank you.
Many thanks also go to the countless groups, churches, classes, and individuals that donate their time and talents making blankets for The Linus Connection.
