We are grateful for our local heroes!
By Cary Gemmer, MaineHealth, Senior Leadership Gift Officer
Thank you for standing with us in our mission to raise awareness and support the patients and communities we serve. The Portland Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 740 showed incredible generosity and heart during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by finding ways to support the fighters, admire the survivors, honor the taken, and give hope to all.
Before Thanksgiving, Portland Fire Department raised funds through their second annual breast cancer awareness T-shirt sale and proudly presented a $5,000 donation to MaineHealth Breast Care. These funds will support the Breast Care Center Fund and vital patient care.
Thank you to our local firefighters and first responders who battle blazes while also helping to fight cancer in our communities.
