to accompany their creations. Exquisite fabrics
were supplied by New York's premier drygoods purveyor Arnold, Constable & Co.,
jewels and other accessories were provided by
Charles Tiffany, and miniature fur creations
were created by renowned furrier C.G Gunther.
At the Metropolitan Sanitary Fair, Rose
was first purchased outright by Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, who then donated her back to
the Sanitary Commission to be raffled off. The
raffle raised the unbelievable sum of $1200,
in addition to the unknown amount paid by
Mrs. Astor. The lucky winner of the raffle
also donated Rose back, but to the students of
Mrs. Ogden Hoffman's school. The students
then presented Rose to their school doctor's
daughter, Bertha Peters. Under her care, Rose
Percy aided worthy causes for a period of
sixty years. In 1919, near the end of her life,
Bertha placed Rose on temporary loan to the
American Red Cross Museum in Washington
D.C. Eventually Rose was gifted to the
organization and became the official mascot
of the Junior Red Cross. Rose served in that
capacity for over eighty years.
In 2010 the American Red Cross was facing
huge deficits and found it necessary to sell
many of their artifacts at auction, including
Rose. Thankfully Rose was purchased by a
proud American who felt Rose should always
reside in the United States and that she should
continue with the philanthropic endeavors to
help those in need. It was further stipulated
that all funds raised would be given to
charitable causes, with the promise that half of
the net funds raised be designated to veterans
of all wars.
The first part of the event was a Red Cross
brunch, entitled "I Serve." As Red Cross
founder Clara Barton once said "I may be
compelled to face danger, but never fear it,
and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I
can stand and feed and nurse them." And not
only soldiers, but all those in need. Because
of Miss Rose Percy over $13,000 was raised
at this brunch to benefit the Red Cross.
Confirming just how important the Red Cross
is, the representatives that were to be with
us on this day were unable to join us because
they were serving at the current hurricane
disaster locations in Texas and Florida.
However, UFDC member Ann Leis, a Houston
nurse who was in attendance, gave an
excellent report on Houston in the aftermath
of this current disaster.
