Nature: Indian River Fulfills Pledge to Contribute to Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition On Wednesday, September 28th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company presented the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition with a financial contribution of $1,000 representing the funds raised as a result of our collaborative effort to increase breast cancer awareness amongst the fire company and community members. October 2011 is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in recognition of the annual observation effort, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition and the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company developed a partnership to support their mission of empowering the community by raising awareness of breast health issues through outreach, education and support services, in order to facilitate early detection and treatment of breast cancer. This collaborative effort resulted in a newly designed t-shirt for public offerings so that you may also lend your support to such a worthy cause. The signature Pink shirt, embossed with the Maltese cross, the Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon amended to resemble a fire suppression hose line and nozzle, the DBCC logo, Indian River's station numbers and Indian River’s Indian head is displayed with the words -- “Indian River cares enough to wear PINK.” The t-shirts will be available at various functions of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company throughout the months. Only large and extra large shirt sizes are available and will be on hand for purchase at $20 each. Indian River has pledged a percentage of every shirt to DBCC. Illustrated herewith is various information to enhance awareness breast cancer.
