WESTCHESTER, Ill. — Suburban Chicago-based drycleaning franchise CD One Price Cleaners has partnered with non-profit organization Fisher House Foundation for its Flag Mosaic Project honoring active and veteran military service members, the company reports.
Running through Oct. 1, CD One Price Cleaners invites its customers across Chicago and Minneapolis to donate $5 to Fisher House Foundation and upload a photo of their “favorite active or veteran U.S. military soldier,” where it will be posted to a website “containing real-time interactive streaming,” and included in its 9,000-photo flag mosaic.
“Every photo submitted will help construct two 4-by-6-foot American flag mosaics that will be presented to Fisher House locations in Hines, Ill., and Minneapolis,” the company says.
All collected funds and the mosaic flags will be presented at a ceremony at both locations on, or around, Veteran’s Day, according to CD One Price Cleaners.
The project is part of the company’s “Heroes of the Neighborhood” program, a collaboration between CD One Price Cleaners and its customers to raise support and awareness for Fisher House Foundation, a program that provides a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Fisher House Foundation, an inspiring organization that creates a home for military families who are undergoing serious medical treatments and therapy,” says John Morocco, vice president of CD One Price Cleaners. “As we move through the summer months and toward Veteran’s Day, our company is creating a way to actively give back to U.S. military families in need and encouraging our generous customers to do the very same.”
