The Fairfield Prep community proudly presented the Fairfield "PINK PLEDGE" campaign with approximately $2,000 raised through the school in support of cancer awareness. October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Fairfield Prep participated in the town-wide initiative to increase knowledge and raise funds to fight cancer. Prep joined all of the local schools, businesses and town residents in Fairfield, taking the "Pink Pledge" to support The Norma Pfriem Breast Care Center.

On October 24, speakers from Norma Pfriem made presentations to Prep students to educate them about breast and testicular cancer. Additionally, students and staff purchased and wore special "Prep fights Cancer" t-shirts, which raised money for this important cause.
