(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally Heyman, District 4, joined representatives from the Miami-Dade Parks Department, NARS Cosmetics and local volunteers in the ribbon cutting ceremony for the recently landscaped area at Haulover Park.  NARS Cosmetics donated $7,500 to the Miami-Dade Parks Department Foundation to purchase flowering plants and ground cover for Haulover Park, as part of the County's Adopt-A-Park program.

"This is a prime example of public/private partnership in action," said Commissioner Heyman.  "NARS Cosmetics joined forces with local volunteers to benefit the community at large." 

Volunteers from LINCS - Local Inclusion Network Collaboratives at the University of Miami-Miller School of Medicine assisted in the planting of the newly purchased flowering plants and ground cover.  LINCS matches people with disabilities with appropriate service opportunities through volunteer organizations.
