Stars and Stripes fundraises in Cedar Rapids with 170 flags
Cedar Rapids Optimist Club placed 170 three by five foot flags in lawns along southeast streets from 6 am to dawn to launch a new fundraiser. The group plans to expand next year aiming for every house to have a flag and to fund youth charities like the H D Youth Center and Boys and Girls Club. Proceeds support local non profits after flood damage and a shift from a Christmas tree sale.
