Hi, Tim!

There's a relatively new Breast Cancer initiative launched by Dr. Susan Love called The Army of Women (http://www.armyofwomen.org)<http://www.armyofwomen.org/> to get more women involved in the research to find a cure.  They need to get a total of one million women of all types including breast cancer survivors into these studies and are still short.

I think you can come up with a lottery system or some other approach to give a plant to each new woman who signs up to participate.  Getting a free plant might go a long way to getting more enrollees.

  I'm hoping for some ideas.

  Spring Meadow Nursery is preparing to launch new plant through Proven
  Winners called INVINCIBELLE 'Spirit.'  It is the first ever pink mop-head
  hydrangea aborescens (i.e. a pink form of 'Annabelle'). Growers will get
  liners this coming spring so it should be a retail in spring of 2010.

  We will be working with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation as a Pink
  Partner to raise money to find a cure. A portion of sales will be donated
  with a minimum annual donation of $10,000.

  I have a 100-200 gallon stock plants that I can release in June 2009 and
  want to use them in a way that can raise even more money for breast cancer
  research.

  I'm looking for ideas. 

  If someone comes up with a great, usable idea I would certainly share a
  plant.

  Sincerely,

  Tim Wood
