Thanks for supporting breast cancer initiative
December 5, 2013 · 0 Comments
On behalf of the Caledon Professional Fire Fighters Association, Local 4686, we would like to sincerely thank all those who made this, our first Breast Cancer Awareness, a huge success.
Firstly, we would like to thank our Fire Chief Terry Irwin, who gave us his full and unfailing support for this initiative. Without his assistance, we wouldn’t have even got this campaign off the ground, nor had the “pinked-out” fire truck.
Next, we would like to thank the Town of Caledon, which aided us in promoting and publicizing our campaign through the office of the CAO and Bethany Lee in corporate communications. We would like to also thank all the members of council and the mayor for their endorsement.
We would like to thank all the volunteer firefighters from cross Caledon and headquarters staff who purchased T-shirts or who helped publicize the campaign throughout the month. Your patronage means a lot to us.
And lastly, and certainly not least, we would like to thank everyone who purchased T-shirts or just made donations. We are humbled by your generous recognition of this initiative. And in doing so, we would like to announce that we have raised through all these efforts $2,000 to go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and $500 to go to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.
We look forward to next year’s campaign, with the hope that one day cancer of all forms will be curable and just another word, not a sentence.
