09/29/2011: "FIREFIGHTERS IN PINK"
Every Friday in October, your Hamtramck Firefighters will be wearing pink duty shirts in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This is part of a nationwide campaign by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) supporting women in their fight against cancer. The “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” campaigns help raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.
For IAFF members, losing the blue and donning the pink is a way to support women in their fight against all cancers. Because many fire fighters have been affected by cancer, it’s been an important issue for IAFF members.
“Sadly, cancer has affected all of us in one way or another,” says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. “I hope our membership will take this resolution to heart and help raise awareness and dollars for this important cause.”
