FRISCO \u2014 Deputies at the Summit County Sheriff\u2019s Office are wearing pink patches on their uniforms this month to support breast cancer awareness.<\/p>\n

As part of the Pink Patch Project \u2014 a collaborative effort among hundreds of public safety agencies throughout the nation \u2014 the deputies will be sporting the patches to raise funds for the fight against the disease and spark conversations to raise public awareness of the importance of early detection and treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreast cancer has personally affected my own family,\u201d Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said. \u201cAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women (aside from skin cancer), and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Therefore, it is so important to raise public awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sheriff\u2019s Office pink patches will be available to the public for a suggested donation of $15. Donations will go toward supporting local care and patients\u2019 needs through the Breast Cancer Fund at St. Anthony Summit Medical Center. Those interested in getting a patch can visit the Sheriff\u2019s Office or mail a check or money order made payable to the Summit County Sheriff\u2019s Office to the attention of Erin Opsahl at P.O. Box 210, Breckenridge, CO 80424.<\/p>\n
