The art competition was held in conjunction with the 2017 S.O.S. Eagle Parade, a public art fundraiser to benefit Veterans Count – an organization that provides critical and timely financial assistance and services when no other resource is available to veterans, service members and their families, to ensure their dignity, health and overall well-being.  Veterans Count chose the bald eagle for its majestic beauty, great strength and long life.

The winning vision of Alice G. will be brought to life by a local artist, then showcased at the 2017 S.O.S. Eagle Parade in Manchester, New Hampshire, throughout the summer. In December, the eagle will be auctioned off to benefit Veterans Count and support its mission. Last year’s event raised more than $12,000, with the Margaritaville eagle earning the top bid from a donor in North Dakota.
