Pink Patch Project
When you wear the patch, you join a global movement against a disease that impacts 1 in 8 women—showing those you serve that you stand with them in their personal battles and transforming community safety into community solidarity.
By the Numbers
First Responder Groups
The Pink Patch Project is an innovative public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease.
It is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs' Association and public safety agencies throughout the country and beyond. Originating in Southern California, it has quickly become an international initiative. The Pink Patch Project's alignment with City of Hope spans global impact. Public safety agencies and community donors from the United States, Canada, France, Spain and Australia actively direct their campaign proceeds to City of Hope to fuel global oncology breakthroughs.
