Madison EMS Supports and Raises Money for Breast Cancer Awareness

Written by Matthew Kavaler, Madison's Emergency Medical Technician

MADISON, CT — EMTs and Paramedics at Madison EMS may be seen around town wearing a different uniform for the month of October. These caregivers have chosen to support breast cancer awareness by purchasing a specially designed shirt.

A portion of the money raised by purchasing the shirts will be donated to the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Madison EMTs and Paramedics are always there caring for our community in their time of need and wanted to give back to the community in a way that differed from their “normal” work on the ambulance. They decided that this shirt would be a great way to show support and raise money for a worthy cause. October is designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Throughout this month there are annual health campaigns that raise awareness and fundraisers to support Breast Cancer.

We hope the community likes the shirts that we will be wearing, as we feel great about the impact this can have on the community.

Employees purchased the shirts and a portion of that money will be donated. We will not be collecting outside donations however would encourage anyone willing and interested to make donations to charitable organization of their choosing.
