Bartlett fire station looking pretty in pink
The Pink Heals Tour was at Bartlett Fire Station No. 1 Wednesday to drum up support for the Pink Heals foundation. Bartlett schoolchildren visited the fire engine.
The cross-country road-trip was started last year by Glendale, Ariz., firefighter, Dave Graybill. On Sept. 9, he began a seven-week road-trip in a pink firetruck to help raise funds and awareness for women with cancer.
Among those on hand in Bartlett was Assistant Chief Bill Anderson, whose wife, Karen, is a cancer survivor. Firefighters also were selling shirts to benefit the Alexian Brothers Foundation Cancer Institute.
Pink Heals is dedicated to helping young women regain their strength and beauty with fun, confidence-building programming and events.
