Pink potted mums will help! Breast cancer affects people from all walks of life.
Did you know…?

• One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
• Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.
• Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year.

We all have an opportunity to fight this disease.

This fall, as in several falls past, Meadow View has planted beautiful garden mums in pretty pink pots to help raise funds for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an outreach of the American Cancer Society. This organization aids in research and education and supports those affected by the disease emotionally as well as financially. Proceeds from our potted mums will be donated to Making Strides. Mums will be available during September and October, while supplies last.

Won’t you help? Everyone loves the cool, soothing shades of autumn. Come pick up a couple of pink-potted garden mums with blooms from the rainbow of fall colors for your own garden or for a friend. It’ll make you feel good.

We’ll see you in the greenhouse!
