Join Trailside Coffee the other Merchants of the Old Trail Village Center in raising funds for cancer research by purchasing pink tulip bulbs for our Pink Tulip Project Gardens.
Our goal is an acre of tulips - $2000 for cancer research
As a part of the October activities for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), Marcia McGee, owner of Trailside Coffee, is leading the first Virginia-based "Pink Tulip Project Garden" located in Old Trail Village, Crozet, Virginia. Originally started in Maine, the Pink Tulip Project raises funds for breast cancer research through the creation of pink tulip gardens and the purchase of pink tulip bulbs.
These gardens, planted in public view for everyone's enjoyment, are a symbol of hope for those affected by cancer in our community. The concept, created by cancer survivor Robin Whitten, has raised over $120,000 for cancer research since its inception in 2006.
Tulips will be on sale through November 1st and will be delivered for Planting Day on November 7th!
Although our kickoff event "Pink Day" has passed, tulip bulbs are STILL AVAILABLE for purchase for the Pink Tulip Project Gardens in Old Trail Village. In addition to providing spring beauty, 100% of the proceeds from the pink tulip project garden proceeds goes directly to cancer research. Visit Trailside Coffee in the Old Trail Village Center to make your tulip donation.
The gardens will be located in the three roundabouts along Old Trail Drive and will continue to show their colorful blooms for many years to come. Tulip bulbs are just $2/each and will be planted on Saturday, November 7th (rain date, Sunday, 11/8) by members of the Old Trail and greater-Crozet community. The tulips have already been purchased, so all you need to do is go by Trailside to make your donation. Supporting cancer research efforts and providing a symbol of hope to those affected by cancer in our community has never been easier, which such a gorgeous result! Remember - every single cent of the $2/tulip donation goes directly to cancer research!
You can also make donations online to the Old Trail Project Garden.
