MOUNT PLEASANT S.C., Sept. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives of Boone Hall Plantation today announced the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the attraction's 2014 Corn Maze. Taking place Monday, September 30 at 3 p.m., Boone Hall is partnering with Lowcountry Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to celebrate, and honor, the 20th anniversary of the Susan G.

Representatives from the Komen Lowcountry Foundation and Boone Hall staff will be on hand to jointly participate in the ceremony. In addition, Boone Hall is encouraging breast cancer survivors, their family members, friends, and supporters to take part in the ceremony. The plan is to fill the ribbon portion of the maze with people wearing pink T-shirts and gloves that will make a spectacular visual for the press preview flyover for media covering the maze. Participants need to arrive at the Boone Hall pumpkin patch area between 1:30 p.m.- 2 p.m. Complimentary pink T-shirts and gloves will be provided for each participant.
"We are excited to be able to partner with the Komen Lowcountry Foundation to help further raise awareness for this cause and those who it affects," said Willie McRae, co-owner of Boone Hall Plantation. "This year's maze is quite impressive and we're sure those who visit will have a great time, while also helping support a noble cause."
