The Endowment is pleased to announce a $100,000 contribution from Egon and Laina Molbak<\/strong> to support AFE\u2019s floriculture programs.
<\/p>

Egon and Laina Molbak at their 90th birthday celebration<\/p>
\u201cI am thrilled to continue supporting the American Floral Endowment with this latest contribution,\u201d said Egon.
\u201cWe give to AFE because they give back to the industry with their important research efforts, wonderful internship programs, and more!\u201d
The generous contribution will establish a new named fund honoring Egon and Laina, and will serve as a lasting tribute of their dedication and support of the floral industry.
The longtime industry veterans, now retired, founded Molbak\u2019s Garden + Home<\/span><\/strong><\/a> outside of Seattle in 1956 after moving to the U.S. from Denmark.
They grew the business from five glass greenhouses with chrysanthemums and carnations to one of the Northwest\u2019s premier garden and home destinations.
Molbak\u2019s Garden + Home is <\/span>now owned by the couple\u2019s son Jens and attracts more than one million visitors each year. It is known for its relaxing cafe and wide selection of plants and gifts, and is also a host employer for AFE <\/span>Programa de Becas para Internos Vic y Margaret Ball<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span>
Proud supporters of the Endowment, Egon and Laina are heavily involved in their community and the industry, and have received many local, national and international awards. Egon was also inducted into the Society of American Florist<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Floriculture Hall of Fame in 1990.
El Fondo Egon y Laina Molbak<\/strong><\/a> joins the 21 other AFE named funds that have been created since 2011.
