What is a Bink-A-Thon?

Bink-A-Thon is an event where volunteers gather to make binkies to be donated to charity.

A binky is a comfort blanket for children

Why Make a Binky?

Binkies are important to young children for they are considered security objects that provide children with comfort in unfamiliar stressful situations. R.H. Passman
