In Tribute to Mickey Mantle, NY Walks
Central Park was a Walkathon in support
of organ and tissue donation, to
benefit the National Kidney Foundation,
of New York & New Jersey.
The walk held on October 29, 1995 in
central Park, was led by Mickey Mantles
Children - David, Danny, Mickey Jr. and
other celebrities. The poster was
printed in limited numbers and
distributed to area hospitals, unions,
organizations and sponsors connected
with the benefit. The posters were
accompanied with information pamphlets.
The black header of the poster reads "TAKE A WALK NEW YORK" in large gold
letters with smaller white lettering
below that reads "A WALKATHON IN
SUPPORT OF ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION"
The grey left side of the poster has
the Walkathon information, place, date
and time, inside a pink enclosure,
below a circled "NY Walks Central Park"
walkingshoe logo. Above the logo, in
script reads "A
Tribute to Mickey Mantle" The
top right side of the poster has the
list of recipients of the Benefit's
proceeds. Below that features a
modified version of The Daily News
sports cartoonist, Bill Gallo, 1988
illustration of Mickey Mantle titled
"Hall of Fame."
The original Mickey Mantle - "Hall of Fame" illustration, included
in series III, of Bill Gallo's "A
Look Back" Baseball Lithograph Set of
24, featured a small sample of "The
Mick, Mickey Mantle" career highlights
and "Hall of Fame 1974" it was modified
for the poster to read '"Be a hero be a
donor" -Mickey Mantle' At the top, the
facade remains but the "Yankee Stadium"
pennant was removed. At the bottom "A
look Back -by" and the 1988 copyright
was removed from Bill Gallo's
signature.
The very bottom of the poster reads "For Information, Call
1-800-63-Donate" with a list of
sponsors below.
