MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM FOUNTAINS GO PINK FOR SUSAN G. KOMEN FOUNDATION<\/strong>
\nSusan G. Komen Race for the Cure happening at Museum on Sunday, September 26<\/em><\/p>\n

Milwaukee, Wis. \u2013 September 21, 2010<\/strong> \u2013 The Milwaukee Art Museum is working with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to once again color its fountains pink in honor of the 2010 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. The fountains will stay pink\u00a0through Sunday, October 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be working with the Susan G. Komen Foundation again this year said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to have our beautiful facility serve as the starting point for this highly-successful annual race.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conjunction with the pink fountains, the Museum is a 2010 Hope Sponsor of the Race for the Cure, and will be offering all race participants free Museum admission on race day, Sunday, September 26, and all Survivor race participants will receive a voucher for free admission throughout the month of October. The Museum will also host an outdoor tent where participants will receive discounted admission coupons for European Design Since 1985<\/em>, the Museum\u2019s newest feature exhibition, opening Saturday, October 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage everyone who has not yet registered for the 2010 Race for the Cure to do so, and if you can\u2019t participate, come down to the Museum and be part of the experience,\u201d said Keegan. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun event for a worthwhile cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
