On Sunday, Oct. 9 The Pink Heals Tour made a stop in Deerfield Beach. Not only was there a parade of pink firetrucks, but also activities on the beach, including a Mammovan where women could have a mammogram for only $99, vendor booths, kids activities and more. Commissioners Preston, Miller and Ganz spoke as well as emcee radio DJ Paul Castronovo (and his wife Gina, who beat breast cancer) and Sheriff Al Lamberti, among others. This is the 2nd year for Pink Heals, created by retired firefighter Dave Graybill, which helps show love for women and awareness for breast cancer. Broward Sheriff’s Office also held a PAL boxing event at the fire station, on Hillsboro and Federal, benefiting 16-year-old Cody Meiers, a young athlete who was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. Look for video coming soon on ObserverTV and see the Oct. 13 issue for more details.
