Not sure how this will be recieved but I figured I would reach out to my avenues outside of work...
In September we had one of our members' wives diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She is currently under going chemo, but has a family history with the disease. Having it so close to home, we knew we had to do something to help. We are a small industrial fire protection department for a manufacturing facility in CT. We operate just as any municipal fire department does, 24/7/365 responding to anything we are called to from flat tires, medical emergencies and actual fires.
My department is selling shirts, 20$ a piece and all monies raised will be donated to cancer research funds. I can take paypal or checks and I will absorb all shipping costs. If there is any interest the shirts will be sent out next week.
Edit- worth mentioning that we collectively realize that there is no longer any need to "raise awareness" as the pink horse has been beaten pretty good. The purpose of the shirts is to raise money for a chairty who is local, versus donating to something much larger where your money is only a drop in the bucket.
