Nebraska florists will take aim on cancer in October through the third<\/p>\n

annual Bouquet of Hope program which supports cancer research at the University<\/p>\n

of Nebraska Medical Centers Eppley Cancer Center. A total of 27 florists<\/p>\n

in 13 Nebraska communities are participating in this years program, which<\/p>\n

is sponsored by the Friends of the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center, a 15-member<\/p>\n

community based group committed to raising funds for cancer research.<\/p>\n

In October, people can send a Bouquet of Hope to anyone by going through<\/p>\n

one of the participating florists located in Bellevue, Bennington, Council<\/p>\n

Bluffs, Fremont, Kearney, Lexington, Lincoln, North Platte, Omaha, Ralston,<\/p>\n

Seward and Tecumseh.<\/p>\n

The bouquets, which typically cost less than $20, will include a special<\/p>\n

enclosure card designed by Sue Kocsis, an Omaha artist who lost her battle<\/p>\n

with breast cancer. The card depicts a colorful bouquet of flowers with<\/p>\n

the following message,Long after the blooms have faded, money spent for<\/p>\n

this bouquet allows the hope to continue through cancer research.<\/p>\n

For every bouquet sold, 20 percent of the proceeds will go toward funding<\/p>\n

local cancer research  at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center, said Jill<\/p>\n

Bydalek, a member of the Friends of the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center.<\/p>\n

“This is a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day while benefitting<\/p>\n

cancer research at the same time,” Bydalek said.  “We are so fortunate<\/p>\n

to have a cancer center of this caliber in our state.  This is an<\/p>\n

easy way to show your support.”<\/p>\n
