Mardi Gras Doubloon Request
Thank you for visiting this cancer site to inquire about the request for doubloons. I have placed signs around the Greater New Orleans area requesting Mardi Gras doubloons for this cancer project. The doubloons will be recycled by selling them on this website to benefit several cancer organizations in the greater New Orleans area which was affected by Hurricane Katrina, including the Cancer Association of Greater New Oreans - a United Way agency, the American Cancer Society, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the Four-o'clocks Around the World Cancer project. Persons purchasing doubloons from this website will be asked to make ALL checks payable to the cancer charity of THEIR choice.
The Times-Picayune published an article on this project on November 6, 2005.
In mid-December 2005, I had the opportunity to meet President George Bush for a second time, as well as President Clinton. The two presidents were in New Orleans presenting millions of dollars to Gulfcoast universities affected by the hurricanes. I hope to have the pictures taken with President Bush on the website soon.
I decided to ask for the doubloons upon realizing how many persons were cleaning out their homes after being affected by Hurricane Katrina and simply throwing away hundreds and thousands of doubloons. Doubloons are unique metal ambassadors of New Orleans culture.
If you are from the New Orleans area and wish to donate doubloons to the project, please feel free to call me at home from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. If I am not at home, please leave a message. My phone number is 833-3893.
Thank you!
