Westfield Fire raises $1,500 to help breast cancer patients

Money goes to Riverview Health Foundation’s Pink Warrior Support Fund

The Westfield Fire Department demonstrated its commitment to supporting local breast cancer patients by raising nearly $1,500 through a special fundraising campaign held during September and October.

Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Riverview Health Foundation’s Pink Warrior Support Fund, which helps alleviate financial burdens often associated with a breast cancer diagnosis, allowing patients to focus on their treatment and recovery journey.

The fundraising effort began when a member of the Westfield Fire Department connected with the Riverview Health Foundation to explore meaningful ways to support local patients affected by breast cancer. After learning about the Pink Warrior Support Fund, the Hamilton County Professional Firefighters Union L4416 launched the merch campaign to raise awareness and provide financial support to patients facing the challenges of treatment.

“At the Westfield Fire Department, serving our community goes beyond emergency response,” said Ryan Brown, Westfield District Vice President for Hamilton County Professional Fire Fighters Union L4416. “The support we received for this fundraiser was incredible, and we’re honored to partner with Riverview Health Foundation to help provide resources and encouragement to local patients.”

Megan Wiles, Vice President of Foundation and Community Affairs at Riverview Health, said, “We are incredibly grateful to the Westfield Fire Department for their generosity and community spirit. Their partnership demonstrates the power of local organizations coming together to support neighbors facing breast cancer, and the funds raised will provide meaningful assistance to patients when they need it most.”

While sales have concluded for this year, the campaign will return next year, offering another opportunity to support the Pink Warrior Support Fund.
