Old Glory Raises Nearly
$100K for Red Cross

 

Old Glory     

Mort Künstler's fund-raising drive for the American Red Cross has ended triumphantly. Thanks to generous support from throughout the nation - and even from overseas - the Old Glory program raised nearly $100,000 for the American Red Cross disaster relief effort in the wake of September 11.

It did so by selling almost 4,000 copies of the limited edition fine art print Old Glory - the popular Mort Künstler painting of the American flag. All revenues from the print went to the American Red Cross. Mr. Künstler donated all the prints, his fine art print publisher, American Spirit Publishing, donated all packaging and shipping costs, while volunteers helped pack print orders.

"I am just elated," says Künstler. "What a special pleasure it is to be able to help out at a time like this. The American Red Cross is so grateful to everyone who bought the print and helped with this project - and so am I. We thank everyone for making this disaster relief effort so successful.
