Q:
I heard that the money raised from the internet Americas goes towards the local Red Cross of the person who orders, based on the zip code. Where is the money raised by overseas collectors going to?
(submitted by KillerTreeFrogGirl)
A:
Before I answer your question let me say Thank You for your overwhelming support of our "America" series. Together, we raised over 1.5 Million Dollars for Red Cross services and programs. Now to answer your question, Our profits from overseas sales will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. One last thing . . . . . what do think of stripes and stars ?
