More Than a World Record

We’re attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest blanket fort ever built, surpassing the current record set in 2023.

But this isn’t just about breaking records.

This record-breaking fort will be designed and engineered by students from West Career and Technical Academy, giving them hands-on, real-world experience while showcasing youth innovation and leadership.

Once complete, the fort will become a safe, immersive space for foster youth to explore, play, and just be kids,  while caregivers enjoy a few hours of well-deserved respite.

This is community, creativity, and care coming together.

Why Your Support Matters

Kinship caregivers step in unexpectedly to raise children they love. Moments of rest, joy, and community are not always easy to come by.

This event creates space for both.

Your support helps us:

• Attempt and officially certify a Guinness World Record
• Build a safe, engaging environment for foster youth
• Provide meaningful respite for caregivers
• Create a hands-on learning experience for local students

Guinness World Records requires a $15,000 adjudication and certification fee to officially recognize the record
