ALS and Fenton
Art Glass, Partners for Hope
The Fenton Art Glass Company is among the world's foremost
producers of handmade art glass. From its modest roots as a glass
decorating company in 1905, Fenton has progressed and become
renowned for innovative colors and decorative treatments on
pressed and blown glassware.
The Fenton Foundation of the Fenton Art Glass Company has
supported ALS Association's mission to find a cure for and improve living
with ALS for more than 17 years. In 2004, the Fenton Foundation
selected The ALS Association as its national partner. The ALS
Association was chosen because of the Fenton family's direct
experiences with ALS.
Through the sale of a special, limited edition glass basket called
"Wish upon a star," the Fenton Art Glass Company has raised close
to $10,000 for ALS Association. The exclusive piece was designed specifically
for The ALS Association by award-winning Fenton artist Robin
Spindler. This unique basket will be produced through 2004 and is
available through Fenton's website at
www.fentonartglass.com.
Following up on the success of "Wish upon a star," Fenton Art
Glass is now working on a special heart trinket box to be
available for sale next spring with proceeds also going to The ALS
Association.
"We are truly grateful for the support of the Fenton Art Glass
Company," said Gary Leo, President and CEO of The ALS Association.
"The generosity and steadfast support of the Fenton Art Glass
Company helps enable ALS Association to continue our aggressive quest in the
search for effective treatment options and, ultimately, a cure for
ALS."
