An Interview With Carol Babbitt, National President, Project Linus

On Christmas Eve 1995, an article titled "Joy to the World" by award-winning photojournalist Eddie Adams appeared in Parade Magazine. Part of the article told of a child who found great comfort in a security blanket as she endured intensive chemotherapy treatments.

According to the organization’s website, Project Linus was born when its founder, Karen Loucks Baker (wife of famous drummer Ginger Baker), saw the article and decided to provide homemade security blankets to Denver’s Rocky Mountain Children’s Cancer Center.
