Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women invites those with homes along the route for the 2008 Komen Memphis-MidSouth Race for the Cure® to help us make this year's race the most successful one to date through our annual Yard Decorating Contest.

We will be recognizing homes with awards for presentation and creativity. Our goal is to encourage Race participants and get spectators into the spirit of the event.

Awards
Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women will award prizes for:

Best Showmanship � displays creativity and spirit in honoring Race for the Cure® and the breast cancer cause. All displays should be fun, colorful and tasteful.
