The Alameda Police Department is proud to bring back the Pink Patch Project, a public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and support cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease.
Starting today, and lasting through October, APD will be selling pink shoulder patches and lapel pins for $10. Cash only, please. All proceeds will be donated to the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation. HERS is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Fremont, CA, dedicated to providing post-surgical products and services to breast cancer patients.
Patches and pins are available for purchase at the police department. Upon arrival, please call APD's front desk and indicate a Pink Patch purchase. An APD team member will assist with your purchase at our front counter. If you are unable to stop by, please reach out to Technician Parker to coordinate payment and pickup/delivery at mparker@alamedaca.gov.
To show our support, members of the Alameda Police Department will wear pink shoulder patches or lapel pins throughout October in hopes of sparking dialogue within the community about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against breast cancer.
