Pink Ribbon Girls truck makes stop at Atrium Medical Center

The Pink Ribbon Girls are making their way across the Miami Valley in a pink fire truck to spread breast cancer awareness.

“It’s brought out basically in the last two weeks of September through October,” Gale Colston, Pink Ribbon Girls volunteer said. “What we do is make visits to our sponsors and our partners, we come around, we sell a little bit of merchandise.”

The group stopped by the Atrium Medical Center on Tuesday to display the truck.

“On the truck, every one of those silver signatures is a fighter or a survivor, we love to see all of those silver signatures,” Colston said.

Pink Ribbon Girls is a non-profit that helps women who are currently fighting breast cancer or are breast cancer survivors by cooking meals, doing laundry and driving patients to doctor’s appointments.

“Probably the most important thing to us is we bring awareness to what the Pink Ribbon Girls do,” Colston said.
