10-09-14 Chattanooga Firefighters Go Pink to Fight Breast Cancer

The Chattanooga Firefighters Association – Local 820 is spearheading the sale of the t-shirts. Union President Jack Thompson says 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the shirts will be given in honor of Jennifer Rains to the Chattanooga chapter of Pink Heals. Lt. Jason Rains, a training instructor with the department, lost his wife Jennifer to breast cancer several months ago.

To help fund the fight against breast cancer, the shirts will be sold to the public at $15 apiece. They will accept cash or checks, made out to "CFFA." The t-shirts will be available for purchase on Friday, October 10, 2014, beginning at 1:00 p.m., at the union office located at 6216 Perimeter Drive in Chattanooga. The shirts can also be ordered on the union's Facebook page. Union Secretary Tim Bryant says all you have to do is get on their Facebook page and post a comment, or send a direct message to them. They will respond as soon as they can.
