In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Riverside County sheriff’s deputies have been authorized to wear pink shoulder patches during the month of October.
The pink patches are intended to stimulate conversation within the community and to encourage public awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment in the fight against breast cancer.
The patches are available to the public for $10 each and can be purchased at the LEAPS Px at the Ben Clark Training Center at 16791 Davis Ave., Riverside. Shipping is available for an additional $2.50.
All proceeds will be donated to Michelle’s Place, a non-profit organization that provides free services to individuals and families impacted by cancer. For questions on purchasing a patch, call 951-486-2912.
