(Brevard County, Fla.) - Brevard County Professional Firefighters Benevolent Association was excited to share the benefits of a month long campaign for breast cancer. Today (January 27th), IAFF 2969 President Richard Pierce and Secretary/Treasurer Chris DiSciascio presented Breast Friends with a $2,000 check.
The check was funded by proceeds from a T-shirt sale during breast cancer awareness month. Every October, Brevard County Firefighters personally purchase special Breast Cancer shirts to wear while on duty. The campaign exists as a fun way for our local firefighters to raise money and awareness for this important issue.
Breast Friends is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for female cancer patients. The organization believes no woman should go through the cancer experience alone and provides extensive support networks to ensure emotional, spiritual and physical support is available to women in need.
The Brevard County Professional Firefighter Benevolent Association is a nonprofit organization aimed to help local individuals that experience catastrophic events as well as provide assistance to local charities. The Association is governed by Brevard County Professional Firefighters who volunteer their off-duty time to ensure our community's needs are met.
