Friends of the Frank Phillips Home Launch Annual Flag Project

          The Friends of the Frank Phillips Home are planning the second annual July 4^th American flag fundraiser and are inviting both corporate sponsors and individual donors to help display thousands of 8”x 12” American flags along several major arterial streets in Bartlesville.  Donors also may choose to designate a 12” x 18” flag in honor of a friend, family member or member of any branch of the United States Military.  The honoree flags will be labeled and displayed on the grounds of the Frank Phillips Home.  The names of corporate sponsors, donors and honorees will appear in a special Bartlesville Examiner- Enterprise ad on or near July 4^th.  Additional recognition will appear on the Home’s website, organizers say.

            Corporate sponsorships are divided into Blue, White, Red and Patriot donation levels and range from $250 to $2500.  Individual donors may purchase honoree flags at $25 per flag. 

            “We are asking the community to help with this unique event that demonstrates Bartlesville’s pride and patriotism,” said Lloyd Cullison, President of the Friends organization.

            Donations should be mailed to the Frank Phillips Home, 1107 SE Cherokee, Bartlesville, OK 74003, or brought to the Home’s Gift Shop.  All donations and names must be turned in by June 20 to be listed in the E-E ad.  Donations can be made by credit card in the Home’s gift shop or by calling 918-336-2491, Ext. 104.
