One Warm Coat started out in 1992 as a Thanksgiving Weekend coat drive in San Francisco.
Since then, more than 1 Million coats have been donated in thousands of local communities across North America. The "warm coats" theme came about when Caroll was asked by One Warm Coat to create a theme song about the charitable project
"My magical journey with, began with a song I wrote in 1989 in 30 minutes, called "We Change the World." After that, I began working with a 22-girl choir, Na Hokulele, for seven years and was also the leader of my daughter"s Girl Scout Troop #755 for eight years. This all led to the development and release of my first Civil Defense, Girl Scouts Greatest Hits, Volume(s) 1, We Change the World in 1997.
Our music series was born out of my own frustration at trying to find quality recordings of age-appropriate, relevant songs and music for my girls.
Since I was already a professional singer-songwriter it was natural for me to compose new songs to fulfill that need."
In 2012, her composition Ignite was chosen as theme song for the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Girl Scouts United States of America.
