Newburyport Police Department Hosts Quilt of Hope for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

NEWBURYPORT — City Marshal Mark Murray is pleased to announce that the Tough Warrior Princesses’ Quilt of Hope is on display at the Newburyport Police Department, as both a sign of support for women battling breast cancer and in an effort to spread awareness.

The quilt travels throughout the region to be displayed by various organizations, and is being showcased at the Newburyport Police Department on Green Street through the month of October, breast cancer awareness month.

“We’re honored and proud to be able to showcase the Quilt of Hope this month, and stand in solidarity with all those impacted by breast cancer,” City Marshal Murray said. “Spreading awareness is incredibly important, and we felt hosting the quilt was the perfect way to participate in breast cancer awareness month.”

Tough Warrior Princesses, a nonprofit based out of Amesbury, works to raise funds for cancer research, educate the public, spreads awareness about the need for a cure and supports women with cancer and their families. Brenda Haskell, a Tough Warrior Princess board member and 31 year, three time cancer survivor, crafted the Quilt of Hope in an effort to spread hope and love to those suffering from breast cancer and to honor those who have died from the disease.

GLOUCESTER — Chief Edward Conley is pleased to announce that the Gloucester Police Department is participating in the Pink Patch Project this month.

The Pink Patch Project is a collaborative effort among public safety agencies nationwide to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support cancer research organizations.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and beginning this week, the Gloucester Police Department is selling a limited number of pink patches. Patches cost $10 each, with all proceeds benefiting the ESSCO-MGH Breast Cancer Research Fund, an organization that supports the advancement of breast cancer research and treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Additionally, many officers will be wearing the pink patch throughout October. Members of the department will also raise awareness about the initiative on social media using the hashtag #PinkPatchProject.

“The Pink Patch Project is an incredible initiative, allowing public safety officials the opportunity each year to help raise awareness about breast cancer and funds for research,” Chief Conley said. “We’re proud to take part, and encourage community members who wish to support our efforts to purchase a patch.”

Residents can also stop by the police department at 197 Main St. to purchase a patch for $10, or can reach out to members of the department through the Gloucester Police Patrol Association’s Instagram at @gpdpatrolunion.

Methuen Police K-9 Officer Attends Touch a Truck Event at Professional Center for Child Development

METHUEN – Mayor James P. Jajuga and Chief Joseph Solomon are pleased to share that Methuen K-9 Officer Michael Havey Jr. attended a recent community Touch a Truck event in Andover.

For the second year in a row, the Methuen Police Department participated in the annual Touch a Truck event on Sunday, June 9, at the Professional Center for Child Development, a school that provides educational and therapeutic services for children with physical and mental disabilities. Each year, police cars, fire engines, construction vehicles, box trucks and other motor vehicles come together to be put on display for the Touch a Truck event.

Officer Havey Jr. brought “Hope,” the Methuen Police Department’s pink Breast Cancer Awareness Dodge Charger to the event, and showed children the inside and outside of the vehicle as well as all of its special policing features.

“This event is such a great opportunity for law enforcement to meet these children and their families, and have a fun day showing them these vehicles,” Officer Havey said. “It’s a special day, and it’s great that the Professional Center for Child Development hosts this Touch a Truck event each year.”
