Red Cross Sells Relics To Ease Deficit

Reported by cbs4.com on Monday, 16 November 2009 (on November 16, 2009)

Rose Percy has a long history with the American Red Cross. Complete with an extensive wardrobe and her own Tiffany jewelry, this 23-inch wax doll was first sold for $1,200 back in 1864 to benefit the U.S. Sanitary Commission — the precursor to one of best-known U.S. charities. Now, Rose Percy, is on the auction block again. For the past two years, the charity whose core mission is disaster relief has been working feverishly to erase a $209 million operating deficit — a shortfall that now stands at $33.5 million.
