What a great bunch of people, they looked over our truck so that we would be safe for the journey home and they also kept us entertained and fed us some Bratz and Beer while we where there. Lisa and I made some great friends and we even think they are going to get a fire truck to paint pink, we will make them our Dallas Affilate of the Guardians of the Ribbon. By the way we even got them to put on the turnouts and do our famous CANCAN dance, look for it on youtube.

Fire Chiefs Convention in Dallas a total Hit!!!!
We drove 1000 miles in our pink fire truck that we call "Karen" to the Fire Chiefs convention in Dallas where we had her on display. We where a total hit, we where invited right on the spot for next years convention in Chicago. We had so many Fire Chiefs coming up and saying they want to get involved with the Pink Heals Program. We here that our idea to have pink fire engines in each department is starting to take on a life of it's own. We believe that all Cities that have a reserve truck should paint one pink in honor of our women. It makes sense, since most of our Fire and Police departments are made up of mostly men, what a great way to show our women we CARE!!!!
New Pink Fire Suits from Globe
We will be looking good this year on tour with the new pink fire suits that Globe made for us! They have been so gracious and supportive of our event, I guess all great companies think alike. We want to say a special thank you to Lisa Wickman for believing in us and for pushing the right buttons to get the suits made.

Support from Honda, Toyota and Nissan
On the 4th of July we had a small event at ABC Nissan, Camelback Toyota, and Showcase Honda. Like I said earlier they all pitched in to give us a vehicle to raffle of on September 11th right before we leave for the tour. We hope to have a few thousand people at the kick-off and hope to have a few bands for some great fun and entertainment. The party starts at 5pm with the drawing for the car around 7:30 and then off for Vegas. We will be having our same pink ride to Wickenburg and then we are off for Vegas. Hope to see you there!

Karen, Heather and Elaine

We have decided to name the pink fire trucks as we assemble them after women who've had a profound affect on our organization. There is NO vote or lucky winner, it just feels right to name these trucks after these wonderful women. Karen Hechler who is the lady that wrote a $13,000 dollar check to us, so that we could go out and buy our first fire truck. That truck made it across the country, touched thousands of lives, inspired thousands of people to go out and help women and organizations that help women in their fight against cancer. Karen is currently battling lung cancer and came by to say hi at the fire station the other day. Heather Zatar a fire fighter in Vernon Arizona area is one of our biggest supporters, she has donated money to our non-profit every month for over a year. Heather has been directly affected by cancer any many ways and has committed herself to helping our non-profit. Elaine Scruggs is the Mayor of Glendale Arizona and recently was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I first came up with the idea to inspire people across the Country to honor our women by wearing pink, she was one of the first people of leadership to give me the thing I need most, a big thumbs up and a pat on the back. Knowing me I would have done the tour anyway but for her to see how this could help so many shows her true leadership ability. So "Karen", "Heather" and "Elaine" will go out on tour this year and when we come to your City, please sign your name to them if you've been affected by cancer. A picture of all three, Elaine is the only one not painted pink yet.

Getting a Car to raffle

Camelback Toyota, ABC Nissan and Showcase Honda have come together to donate a car for raffle to help off set the costs of this years tour. We will be selling $10 raffle tickets so that somebody will have the ability to win either a Honda Fit, Nissan Sentra or a Toyota Yaris. These dealerships will also be supporting the Cares Enough to Wear Pink program because they too also believe Pink Heals. They believe that supporting all women first and their fight against cancer will ultimately help all organizations that help our women with this disease. This drawing will be held on September 11 from Camelback Toyota at 7pm right before we start this years tour. Please e-mail us if you would like to buy a ticket or go to any of these three dealerships.
"Pink Heals" Visiting many different charity events
Thank You! RC Towing you are one of the many reasons we will have three pink fire trucks on tour this year. Ray the owner of RC Towing, Sonny and Paul you have been a true blessing to so many women across the Country that will experience these pink fire trucks.
For three months we have been very busy getting our trucks ready to make our journey across the Country for our second tour. We have been visiting individuals and charity events to help inspire more fund raising dollars and awareness in the fight against all cancer for our women. Thank you for all your support, we will continue our work for years to come and we welcome any partnership that will create a World in Pink so that all our women recognize our true support and love for them as a whole.
