Why do pink and red go together in August? Because Clark County Fire District 6 firefighters are raising awareness of breast cancer.
The firefighters will wear pink T-shirts as part of their uniform today. It comes after several firefighters’ wives were diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, according to Dawn Johnson, the district’s public information officer.
The T-shirts were purchased by the firefighters, and are also available to the public with almost all of the proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
The shirts cost $15, with $12 going to fight breast cancer. A local graphics company, Fired-Up Graphics, is producing the shirts and has made them available through this website.
