Chattanooga firefighters have been wearing them for days, but they took time to pose for a group photo to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This initiative is being promoted by the Chattanooga Firefighters Association – Local 820, and is supported by the leadership of the Chattanooga Fire Department.
The union bought the T-shirts for its members, and non-union firefighters and family members could also purchase them. The proceeds from the T-shirt sales goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The firefighters will continue to show their support by wearing their pink T-shirts through the end of October.
The union only bought a limited number of the pink T-shirts, so they do not have enough to sell to the general public.
