East Bridgewater Police Donate Money Raised from Participating in Pink Patch Project

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Chief Scott Allen is pleased to announce that the East Bridgewater Police Department raised nearly $700 for breast cancer research while participating in the Pink Patch Project during the month of October.

On Wednesday, East Bridgewater Police Sgt. Michael McLaughlin and Officer Michael Randall presented a check for $695 to the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center.

Throughout the month of October, East Bridgewater Police sold 40 pink versions of the department’s uniform patch for $10 apiece out of the station lobby, raising $400. They also raised $295 through an online fundraising page provided by MGH.

“I was happy to see so many people coming into the station to buy our pink patches last month,” Chief Allen said. “Breast cancer is something that greatly impacts so many of us in one way or another. Anything we can do to contribute to finding a cure is something that we are proud to be a part of.”

Originating in southern California, the Pink Patch Project is a collaborative effort between public safety agencies throughout the country designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support cancer research organizations.

Pop Warner Cheerleaders to Support Holbrook Police Pink Patch Project

HOLBROOK — Chief William Smith and the Holbrook Patrolmen’s Association (HPA) Local 88 are pleased to announce that Holbrook Police officers will be teaming up with local Pop Warner cheerleaders to raise money for breast cancer awareness this month.

Throughout the month of October, the Holbrook/Randolph Pop Warner football cheerleaders will be wearing special sweaters with pink Holbrook Police and Randolph Police patches on each sleeve.

The cheerleaders will also conduct routines and cheers throughout the October football games in support of the police departments and the Pink Patch Project.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Holbrook Police officers will have the option to wear the pink patches in order to show support for all those who have battled – or still are battling — breast cancer.

The pink patches were purchased by the HPA and the funds raised by selling them will go toward various charitable efforts taken on by the union. In addition, the HPA sponsored Chief Smith’s participation in the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on Sept. 23.

Anyone who would like to purchase a pink Holbrook Police patch can do so by stopping by the Holbrook Public Safety building, 300 South Franklin St. The patches are $10 each.

“We are so thankful to the cheerleaders and Pop Warner for their support,” Chief Smith said. “Breast cancer hits close to home for a lot of people and it has impacted many lives. Anything we can do to raise awareness and money to help find a cure is something the members of our department look forward to each year.”
