Blanket- BlanketsUSA.com just announced their support for Blanket America Charity by holding a raffle for a " Blanket America Patchwork Heritage Quilt", in hopes of virally spreading the word about this new charity through Facebook and ViralLoop app


NEW YORK, NY, December 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Blanket America is a newly formed charity which has joined hands with Gifts in Kind International to help more than 1 million needy Americans throughout the next year. They are off to a great start, with big name companies like Amazon.com and JC Penney showing their support. Blanket America even has a newly formed Facebook page where supporters of the movement can join together to tell stories, show support and more. Now Blanket USA has opened their hearts to a great cause.

The Patchwork Heritage Quilt is a statement quilt unlike any other seen before. Though making a statement through quilting is an old American tradition, America has very seldom heard the message of charitable giving in the name of American unity so clearly. When, on January 20, 2009, Barak Obama lauded America as having a "patchwork heritage" which is a "strength, not a weakness" a new movement was born.

The Patchwork Heritage Quilt was created in support of Barak Obama's message of unity and strength. There have been few times in American history where the country has needed the strength of fellow citizens so much. Though the nation is diverse and is often separated by everything from religion to politics, there is something every American can do to help others in need.

The Patchwork Heritage Quilt is printed with the Presidential inaugural address over a lovely background featuring Lady Liberty. The face of the quilt is an attractive combination of 13 different fabrics, all in shades of red, white or blue, to represent the 13 original colonies. The design of the Patchwork Heritage Quilt is such that it can be used as a tapestry or bedding.

Blanket America is using a new concept of charitable giving called the buy one, give one model. When customers buy a Patchwork Heritage Quilt, the proceeds buy one blanket for the poor. Prices of the quilt range from $59.99 to $99.99 depending on size. Matching pillow shams and decorative pillows which also benefit the poor are also available.

Now there is another way to get the Blanket America Patchwork Heritage Quilt. Blanket USA is hosting a raffle to give away one king size quilt. The quilt will be raffled off at 12:00PM EST on Friday, December, 2009. Blanket USA is also encouraging its customers to join the cause via Facebook in order to spread the word about the cause. To join the raffle for a chance to win a king size Patchwork Heritage Quilt, valued at $99.99, please visit
