Center and Beckman Research Institute. This historic event led
a group of nurses in Southern California to design a Nurses Float
for the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade, which ends Bixby's reign. They
have created a website to encourage nurses to support the float
through financial donations, volunteering to decorate the float,
and spreading the word about the project. Visit www.flowers4thefloat.org to
