Wood Hudson Cancer Research Laboratory was a recent recipient of a front yard makeover, courtesy of Mix 94.9 Cincinnati and Natorp’s.
The makeover, part of a contest entitled Plant It Forward, was opened to non-profit organizations in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. The contest encouraged individuals to nominate a non-profit organization by completing an online application through the Mix 94.9 website.
Entrants were asked to write compelling reasons why their non-profit deserved this makeover.
“We are so excited to have been chosen for this makeover,” said Dr. Julia Carter, President of Wood Hudson Cancer Research Laboratory.
“As a smaller non-profit cancer research institute, our resources for other items outside of cancer research are very limited. Getting this makeover not only enhances our front entrance, but also adds beauty to the neighborhood. We are so thrilled to have been chosen.”
Employees of Mix 94.9 and Natorp’s spent much of Tuesday morning planting scrubs, flowers, evergreens, pulling weeds, and spreading mulch.
Jay Kruz, Program Director and Daytime DJ for Mix 94.9, said, “Mix 94.9 and Natorp’s are so grateful for the work of community groups like Wood Hudson Cancer Research Laboratory. We’re excited to be able to spend some time in Newport to help support their work.”
