yesterday, i celebrated the kick-off of Knott's Berry Farm for the Cure. i celebrated this special day at Knott's with my sweet grandma who is a breast cancer survivor herself. so you can imagine that this is a cause near and dear to my heart. i am thrilled that Knott's has partnered with Susan G. Komen and they are working together to raise money for breast cancer awareness, services and research.
from February 1st through March 31st, Susan G. Komen Orange County and Knott's Berry Farm are offering a special "Pink Ticket" and limited edition "pink" merchandise with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Komen Orange County. 75% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen are used to provide services in Orange County such as education and early breast cancer detection, information and support for breast cancer survivors and families, funding for free mammograms for the underprivileged and uninsured, and 25% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen support national research to discover the cure for breast cancer.
during the Knott's for the Cure campaign, Knott's guests will have the opportunity to enjoy Knott's world class entertainment, attractions and specially-themed "pink" decor, while supporting an important cause that touches many women. throughout this campaign, guests can purchase "Pink Tickets" for theme park admission only online. a portion of these "Pink Tickets" proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen Orange County!
