'Jersey Strong' Handmade Christmas Ornaments at Apollo Flags

We will never forget this time in New Jersey's history as we watched our Iconic Jersey Shore be destroyed and so many residents lives turned upside down.

At Apollo Cards & Flags we have been a small family business owned & operated for 40 years. Each of our hearts broke for all of those affected by "Superstorm Sandy". We will never forget this time in New Jersey’s history as we watched our Iconic Jersey Shore be destroyed and so many residents lives turned upside down.

Watching this all unfold on TV from the Island of St. Kitts, veterinary student Kristin Potenzone Tomasello (Apollo family member) came up with a beautiful idea to make a NJ ornament to help give back! It then had to be created and executed!

Numerous hours have gone into the design process and members of our "APOLLO FAMILY" are donating their time to hand make each ornament. We consider this ornament as a symbol of strength, pride, family, and UNITY! By putting this on your Christmas tree or hanging it on a display, you are letting others know how you have helped contribute to rebuilding NJ! This ornament is showing that in a country filled with diversity...we can all stand together as a FAMILY!
