“Louise”
Toronto Fire Fighters have officially kicked off their Care Enough to Wear Pink campaign for the month of October. Their pink fire truck, named “Louise” garnered much attention at her first public appearances, a big hit with both children and adults. Many photos have been taken so far and they ask that you tweet or post those photos of yourself with Louise on Twitter or Facebook, using the hashtag #TPFFApink. On October 4th, Louise appeared on Breakfast Television then she then headed north to the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to visit staff and patients for the day. In 2011, Toronto Fire Fighters pledged to raise $100,000 for the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre. To date, the TPFFA have raised $77,300 of their $100,000 pledge. Please support them to ensure that they fulfil that pledge by the end of October this year.
To support our campaign and help us reach our $100,000 pledge, you have a few options:
Option #1: Attend an event that we are hosting – please see the ever evolving event listing below, which will be updated on a regular basis. You can receive one of our very popular pink baseball caps with a donation of $20.00 or one of our pink ribbon pins for a $5.00 donation. Of course, we will also accept any donation that you are willing to make to the campaign.
