SALT LAKE CITY, October 11, 2016 – Today, Susan G. Komen Utah and The Leonardo announced their latest endeavor in an ongoing partnership. On Friday, October 14, 2016 between 4:00pm-6:00pm1,600 pink tulip bulbs will be planted on The Leonardo’s south lawn to create a Celebration Garden.
For several years, the Susan G. Komen Utah Race for the Cure has held their event on Library Square. This “Celebration Garden”, located on The Leonardo’s south lawn, will be completed in time for the 21st Annual Susan G. Komen Utah Race for the Cure—May 13, 2017. The Garden, which is easily accessible to the public, will serve as a beautiful display during the race by celebrating those who have battled with and survived breast cancer.
“This garden further cements the goodwill between our organizations and we’re proud to be a part of such a worthy cause,” said Andrew Parker, Chief Marketing Officer for The Leonardo.
“Komen Utah is thrilled to once again partner with The Leonard for the pink Celebration Garden,” said Kate Moss, Executive Director of Susan G. Komen Utah. “’Pink’ became the color of the breast cancer movement, but we focus on what ‘pink’ has made possible—funding breast health services for Utahns and investing in critical breast cancer research.”
The Leonardo and Susan G. Komen Utah have been committed partners for many years are proud to be extending that partnership throughout the upcoming year. This project will be completed on October 20, 2016 with the Garden in full-bloom for all to enjoy by race day.
