FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Each year, Central Valley law enforcement agencies join forces with Community Hospital to support breast cancer, raise awareness, and help honor and pamper those going through the cancer battle. The drive not only raises funds for the Marjorie E. Radin breast care center, but it culminates in a day of pampering for patients and survivors, called the “Pink Patch” event.

Partners and staff gathered to uplift those who are literally in the fight for their lives - and make them feel special and loved.  “You come out of here with a renewed fight. It encourages you to keep going and not give up because you're looking at other people that are doing the same thing,” Cubas said. The day includes a full slate of activities: breakfast, followed by complete pampering, thanks to Ulta Beauty, which includes hair, make-up, styling, gifts and even a photo shoot, all to honor and celebrate these women. “I've met people here who are 20-year-survivors who, when they were diagnosed years ago, didn’t have a lot of hope, and they're still here. You see how far medicine has come. Yes, it is encouraging. It's hopeful. It's inspiring,” Cubas said. The day culminates with a walk down the pink carpet to launch the month-long fundraising, which is the sale of law enforcement pink patches.   Throughout October, 20 Central Valley law enforcement departments sell special pink versions of their uniform patches. Those funds go directly to support breast cancer patients like Wendy. Major sponsors add to those funds to increase the impact, including presenting sponsor 500 Club Casino, as well as the Clovis Police Officers Association and Fresno Acura. “The thing that really kind of impresses me and the thing that I really enjoy coming out here is I love seeing the women that are here because of their resilience, their courage,” said Reedley Chief of Police, Joe Garza. “In law enforcement, we are becoming much more involved. We know that we can send a message. That's why we wear these pink patches during this time, because then people will come out and ask about the pink patch, and we can raise awareness and funds."
