Pretty In Pink at Knott’s For the Cure

Have you been to Knott’s lately? If you have, you may have noticed a lot of pink and hearts decorating the park. No, it’s not for Valentine’s Day, but for something even more special and important. Knott’s Berry Farm is proudly partnering up with Susan G. Komen Orange County for the second year in a row to offer a very special “Pink Ticket” through March 27th, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Susan G Komen Orange County, your local breast health organization helping to serve women and save lives.

At the kick off event for Knott’s Pink for the Cure,  we were able to honor an amazing fellow blogger and dear friend, Jaime Jenkins of Polka Dots on Parade, who’s currently fighting breast cancer and is a beautiful, positive woman! She is such a ray of sunshine and brings joy and happiness wherever she goes. Her strength and bright spirit has inspired many of us; her smile will light up the room, her hugs will lift your spirit with how powerful they are, her energy and enthusiasm is contagious.

At the kickoff event, many of the amazing women who are Pink Warriors, survivors of breast cancer, rode on the Jaguar ride at Knott’s.  Many of these courageous ladies will fight every day of their life to make it through this. Their strength and positivity amazes and inspires me. I just love Jaime’s contagious smile here. It is just full of pure joy! 🙂

Knott’s Berry Farm For the Cure

By Erin

Recently you may have noticed that I had a giveaway in honor of Knott’s Berry Farm’s Partnership with Susan G. Komen for the months of February and March to help  raise funds for breast cancer research. Here are some pictures from the kick-off event that was put on to get the fundraiser going. You can see all the pink accents that have been added to the park in honor of all  those fighting breast cancer, the survivors, and those who lost the fight. It’s partnerships like this that will help us find the cure to this horrible thing called cancer that much faster.

Knott’s Goes Pink For the Cure With Susan G. Komen 

By Erin

Disclosure: I will be attending a media event at Knott’s Berry Farm courtesy of Gigasavvy to hear about the Susan G. Komen & Knott’s partnership. The Knott’s Ticket giveaway is also kindly provided by Giga Savvy! All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

Knott's Goes PinkIt’s no secret that I love the amusement parks that Southern California has to offer. When I heard that one of my favorite places was teaming up with a good cause like Susan G Komen to help fight breast cancer, I knew I had to help spread the word and share about the wonderful work they were going to do together.

For the months of February and March, Knott’s Berry Farm and Susan G. Komen of Orange County are working together to raise money for breast cancer awareness, services and research by offering a very special “Pink Ticket” and limited edition specially designed “pink” merchandise. Knott’s will offer a specially discounted “Pink Ticket” February 1st-March 31st in support of the organization.

In Orange County, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to Komen’s funding of research, new treatments and awareness of the importance of annual mammograms to detect breast cancer in its earliest and most curable stages, the survival rate for breast cancer has risen dramatically over the 33 years of the organization. The Orange County Komen Affiliate provides mammograms for uninsured women and works with other organizations to bring information to people throughout the county.

The promotion will provide guests with the opportunity to enjoy Knott’s world class entertainment, attractions and specially-themed “pink” décor, while supporting an important cause that touches many women. Starting February 1, through March 31, guests can purchase “Pink Tickets” for theme park admission only online at www.knotts.com. A portion of the “Pink Tickets” proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen Orange County.
