1000 PAPER CRANES

. . . landed on Art Hill Sunday

beneath the St. Louis Art Museum.

The giant origami folded birds

were assembled as a fundraising campaign

by Backstoppers,

helping families of those who made

the "ultimate sacrifice" for our safety.

The public was invited to purchase 

their own crane, to take home, for $10.

All proceeds were given to Backstoppers.

100 volunteers folded 5-ft X 5-ft sheets

  of paper to create the cranes,

  and folded, and folded . . .
