I love tulips. And pink ones just happen to be my very favorite. If you feel the same way why not get involved with the Maine Cancer Foundation’s Pink Tulip Project? They’re currently seeking volunteers to organize gardens and get digging.
The Pink Tulip Project will be singing up new gardens until October 1st. Over 300,000 bulbs are waiting to be planted during the week of October 19. Help raise cancer awareness in your community by organizing a pink tulip garden. There are hundreds of volunteers from Portland to Millinocket who are ready to help plant, but the project always needs more. “This can be a terrific community building event and wonderful for schools, community service organizations, and cancer support groups, too,” says Robin Whitten, founder of the Pink Tulip Project.
Want to get involved? All the tools new gardeners need to set up an official Pink Tulip Project garden is available at www.pinktulipproject.org. Last year the project raised over $50,000 for cancer research grants given through the Women’s Cancer Fund of the Maine Cancer Foundation.
