The Rose Garden Party symbolically ends the Richard Nixon Foundation's 15-month Conquering Covid campaign to benefit the Southern California community, which has resulted in 41 blood drives, regular COVID-19 antibody testing for the public, four food drives, two vaccination clinics, and the acquisition and distribution of hundreds of thousands of face masks to Orange County’s small businesses, public and private schools, frontline COVID-19 responders, and veterans groups. As part of the visit, the couple will open a new special exhibit at the Nixon Library titled, "The Day Indeed Was Splendid: The Wedding of Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox."
