Braintree PD Joins Pink Patch Project For Breast Cancer Awareness

BRAINTREE, MA — October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Braintree police are joining hundreds of first responders across the country and switching their usual police patches in for pink ones. Officers will be wearing the patches as well as selling them — it's all part of the Pink Patch Project.

The Pink Patch Project is a nationwide awareness campaign where police departments sell pink patches during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Braintree Police Department will be selling a limited edition patch which showcases the Town of Braintree seal in pink. The patches are $10.

In addition to the patches, police announced they are selling t-shirts, hoodies and winter hats. All proceeds will go to Marisa's Mission, a nonprofit for breast cancer awareness.

Patches and other merchandise can be purchased until the end of October at American Reflective at 224 Commercial St. They are also available online.
