On Monday, October 8, Donnie Beer, treasurer of The Independence Fund, accepted a check from Paul Fuetterer and presented him with a painting created onstage during the Lt. Dan Weekend 3 Lt. Dan Band concert. The painting depicts an American flag and was done by artist Scott LoBaido. It was sold to Fuetterer of Cat Island for $15,000 and proceeds go to the nonprofit Independence Fund which helps severely wounded veterans of recent wars. The painting was signed by the artist and by Oscar-winning film star Gary Sinise.
