| 75 Mickey Statues to go on National Tour |
|
|
In groups of 15, the statues will visit 10 cities in 2004 and will be ondisplay for approximately two months in each location (see following schedule for tour details): In 2005, all 75 will come together again at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., Washington D.C. and New York City (details to be announced later) before they are auctioned by Sotheby's Auction House to raise money for the charity of each individual artist's choice. The Walt Disney Company was able to bring "Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations" to fruition with the help of The Coca-Cola Company, the primary tour sponsor. In addition, The Home Depot(R) provided the "Disney Color by Behr" paint and other supplies to bring the statues to life. Suddath Relocation Systems is "Movin' Mickey" and will transport the statues to each destination. Kodak will use its EasyShare system to offer digital photographs in each city during the tour. Radio Disney stations will act as Mickey's host in the ten communities.
