Celebrating the life and leadership of Mark Mortenson.
Mark Mortenson was a visionary leader who embodied the spirit of our ‘Wow, Wonder, Welcome’ philosophy. His warmth, generosity, and dedication made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. This year’s Botanical Bash welcomes our community to come together to raise funds and help bring the vision of the Expansion and Renovation project that Mark led to fruition. We encourage guests to wear their brightest florals in honor of Mark’s vibrancy for life, color, and his self-instituted ‘Floral Fridays.’
We would also like to thank Curt Maranto-Mortenson for serving as the Honorary Chair of this year’s Botanical Bash as well as Mark and Curt’s family and friends.
