KENNEWICK, Wash. – Firefighters in Kennewick are embracing pink this October to support breast cancer awareness and fundraising efforts.
The initiative involves wearing custom-designed pink shirts, contributing nearly $1,500 through IAFF Local 1296.
The final donation amount will be decided at the next Union Meeting.
Funds raised typically benefit local facilities including the Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center, which has supported several Kennewick Fire Department members.
The shirts were crafted by Pacific Fire Apparel, a firefighter-owned business in Spokane, further supporting a fellow firefighter.
