Are you seeing Pink? Pekin Firefighters are wearing their pink throughout the month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). Awareness is vital in combating this devastating illness, but research is even more important. Thanks to everyone who ordered a supporter T shirt. We were able to raise $870 dollars to donate to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation . If you missed out of the shirts but would like to contribute, you can donate here.
