The Nana\u2019s Flowers of Hope team is sponsoring a mum flower sale fundraiser to benefit the ALS Association\u2019s efforts to fight Lou Gehrig\u2019s Disease.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Just in time for Grandparents\u2019 Day, the fundraiser will sell hardy mums in yellow, lavender and russet for $10 each. <\/p>\n

The plants, which are in one-gallon containers with a 10- to 14-inch bloom circumference, are on sale now and can be picked up from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, at the former Dowd-Nash-White residence halls on Campus Drive on UT\u2019s Main Campus. <\/p>\n

The money raised by the mum flower sale will go toward the $6,500 goal the Nana\u2019s Flowers of Hope team has set for its participation in the Walk to Defeat ALS Sunday, Oct. 7. <\/p>\n

The team honors Diane Hymore, a longtime employee of The University of Toledo and President Lloyd Jacobs\u2019 assistant for many years, who recently was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.<\/p>\n

Orders for the mum sale can be made online at utole.do\/mumsale<\/a> and payment can be made through payroll deduction via the Satellites Auxiliary for Health Science Campus employees or cash\/check the day of the flower pickup Sept. 7.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in joining the Walk to Defeat ALS or making a tax-deductible contribution can do so by visiting the team\u2019s website at http:\/\/webnoh.alsa.org\/goto\/NanasFlowersOfHope<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Walk to Defeat ALS will be held Sunday, Oct. 7, starting at 11:30 a.m. at Promedica Flower Hospital in Sylvania. <\/p>\n
