Cancer Awareness
The Police Officers of New Providence PBA Local #132 will be wearing pink undershirts during the month of October to promote breast cancer awareness. They are doing this in the hopes of promoting conversation amongst the people they interact with about a disease that affects so many of our friends, neighbors and family. If you are able to do so, the PBA recommends you help a cancer charity of your choice and maybe together we can help those people who need it most.
