The Pink Patch Project is a world wide innovative public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease. The Austin ISD Police Department officers will be authorized to wear the Department’s pink shoulder patch on duty from October 1st through October 31st each year. During that time, and only during that time while supplies last, our limited-edition pink patch will be made available to our public for “purchase” by donating to the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Texas, a local non-profit organization offering programs and services free of charge to anyone affected by breast cancer regardless of income, ethnicity, education, sexual orientation, or social support. Each donor will receive one pink patch per $10 donated (limit of 5 per donor) while supplies last.
** We will need our own individual donation website for people to donate directly to. Once the public donates, we will need a report from BCRC with the donor’s mailing/billing address so we can mail the pink patches to them.
