For the past seven years, Pasadena Fire Department has partnered with Huntington Hospital during October to bring awareness to breast cancer with “Pasadena Goes Pink” fundraisers. Last week, Pasadena firefighters, along with Basecamp Fitness Pasadena and California Pizza Kitchen/Pasadena, proudly presented a check for $19,032.15 to physicians, nurses and administrative staff to support the Jim and Eleanor Randall Breast Center. This generous donation is the result of fundraising throughout October, which included a walk around the Rose Bowl, a day of fundraising at the California Pizza Kitchen, t-shirt sales and “filling the boot” on the streets of Pasadena. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Danae La Trobe, Pasadena Fire Department, for her role in coordinating these community events that bring ongoing support of breast cancer awareness.

“Eleanor Randall tackled her personal experience with courage, dignity and determination,” said Jane Haderlein, senior vice president, philanthropy and public relations, Huntington Hospital. “It means so much to have the men and women of the Pasadena Fire Department recognize and support women in our community.”
