Vanna & Rosie Warm Up America!

Wheel of Fortune's Vanna White urged Rosie O'Donnell's show viewers to help Warm Up America!

Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White, an avid crocheter, is also a Warm Up America! supporter and has been for many years. She has crocheted several afghans which she personally delivered to Evie Rosen, Warm Up America! founder.

When she appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell Show last year, in addition to demonstrating how to make a yarn doll during the Crafts Corner segment, she urged viewers to join Warm Up America!, briefly explaining how they could get involved. Lion Brand Yarn distributed yarn and needles to all the audience members, along with basic crochet instruction for making a Warm Up America! section.
