Do you want to show your support to a loved one who is a cancer survivor or patient?
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Thornton Fire Department, along with local florists, are proud to be part of the "Cares Enough to Wear Pink" campaign. This year firefighters, traveling in big red fire trucks, will be delivering bouquets of pink carnations on Saturday, October 23. The firefighters will deliver to the first 150 Thornton residents who receive this gift. You can have flowers delivered by the Thornton Fire Department to a loved one who is battling cancer, a cancer survivor, or just to show you care. You do not need to be a Thornton resident to give flowers, only to receive.
Orders must be received by Wednesday, October 20 at 5 p.m.
The cost for the flower delivery is a nominal $20 and all proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
The Thornton Fire Department will also be sponsoring a Memorial Garden at the Thornton Civic Center. You can purchase a Pink Ribbon Memorial Sign for $20 which will have your loved one's name and a special message written on it. The signs will be displayed in the Memorial Garden during the month of October, to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer.
