For these three <br />shifts, firefighters replaced their regular duty <br />uniform shirts with black and pink shirts to raise <br />awareness for breast cancer, supporting <br />research, friends, co-workers, and family <br />members with breast cancer. <br /> <br />October is Breast Cancer Awareness <br />Month. Breast cancer is the most commonly <br />diagnosed form of cancer in women, and is the <br />second leading cause of cancer death of women <br />in the United States. Many friends and family <br />members of the involved organizations have <br />been affected by this disease. <br /> <br />The Union Firefighters from Eugene <br />International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) <br />Local 851 and Springfield IAFF Local 1395 purchased the shirts and fully funded this campaign. No City funds were used, <br />although the effort was supported and endorsed by Fire Department management. This awareness campaign was <br />endorsed by the IAFF by resolution at its last convention. <br /> <br />For more information about the Cares Enough to Wear Pink campaign, please contact the Eugene IAFF Local 851 office at <br />541-344-4557. <br /> <br />Campbell Center Annual Holiday Bazaar Set for November 9 <br />Campbell Community Center will hold its annual Holiday Bazaar next Saturday, Nov. 9, <br />from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Admission is free. <br /> <br />This event is a great kickoff to the holiday season, offering a wide variety of items for <br />sale as gifts or for the buyer.
