LOGAN TOWNSHIP -- Punxsutawney Phil is being put to work to raise money for the local American Red Cross.

Monday, the latest Beanie Baby, Punxy Phil, went on sale.

The $6 donation will go directly to the Red Cross Disaster Fund.

Barbara Taylor, executive director of the Red Cross, said the fund helps people in all types of situations.

"I think that people think that the Red Cross helps when they hear about huge disasters -- ice storms, snow storms. But people don't realize that we give back to the local community to help people begin rebuilding their lives," said Barbara Taylor, executive director of the Red Cross.

The Beanie Baby Phils are unique to this region and are in limited supply at the Logan Valley Mall in Altoona or at the Red Cross offices in Bedford and Blair Counties.

Groundhog Day is February 2.
