The newly unveiled memorial in Golden Gate Park, years in the making, serves as a peaceful sanctuary for cancer survivors and their families. With a welcoming entrance that invites reflection, the memorial acknowledges the significant impact of breast cancer on lives, noting the 40,000 annual deaths in the U.S. The garden's revitalization, emphasized by community efforts and dedication by BAYS, reflects a commitment to enhancing mental health through nature, providing solace during difficult times. The collaboration between parks authorities and BAYS represents a powerful example of community advocacy and support for those affected by cancer.
"As it turns out, there's a lot of great ideas being pitched to Rec and Park for all kinds of new programs, new spaces. But it is really incumbent on those groups to have that commitment. And BAYS was 1,000% committed."
"It had been taken over by plants and just kind of forgotten, but it's been revived. It's totally new and it has a whole new meaning."
