Firefighters Donate to Breast Cancer Resource Centers

The Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas accepted a check for $4,500 on Tuesday from the Georgetown Association of Professional Firefighters. The donation was a result of money raised from the Pink Heals Tour stop in Georgetown this fall. Georgetown firefighters raised money through the sale of 1,000 special Pink Heals T-shirts.
