 Not only will Pasco police wear pink patches to bring awareness to Breast Cancer, the department is also selling the patches and all the money will be donated to local organizations.

Officers say they are the first agency in the state to partner with the Pink Patch Project, a fundraiser started by a California police department in 2015 for breast cancer awareness and research.

Pasco police posted on their Facebook page that their goal is to, "raise awareness and funds to assist with; cancer research, treatment, care for those who are currently battling, or are recovering from cancer."

The patches are $10.00 with half being donated to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center and the other half will be given to the Kadlec Foundation for Pediatric Oncology.

You can purchase the patches by visiting Etsy, send a check to the Pasco Police Officers Association at P.O. Box 822, Pasco, WA 99301, or keep an eye out for several locations the department will be selling the patches.
