Cost Less Foods Company Store Manager Oscar Avila (far right) and his crew show off their pink T-shirts in support of the Turlock Firefighters Local #2434’s breast cancer awareness and fundraising campaign. Avila was the inspiration behind this year’s T-shirt design, according to Turlock Fire Capt. Frank Saldivar (CANDY PADILLA/The Journal).
Turlock Firefighters Local #2434 has switched out their normal day-to-day uniforms for pink T-shirts in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. But the pink T-shirts are more than a wardrobe change for the firefighters; it’s a fundraising campaign that has brought in more than $100,000 for the Bill and Elsie Ahlem Cancer Endowment.
