The first annual Brave Enough to Wear Pink campaign is sending a little more than $7,600 to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada and the Firefighters Cancer Support Network.
The Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign involved local firefighters selling shirts and taking donations throughout Chatham-Kent.
“It was amazing to have people come up and share their story of how this disease has impacted their lives. I never realized the gravity of how many lives breast cancer affected within our community,” exclaimed Sidney Vilaranda, CKPFFA Secretary.
Besides raising money, firefighters helped bag groceries and handed out information about breast cancer awareness at the Real Canadian Superstore and Sobeys in October.
