San Jose Firefighters welcome the Pink Heels Tour

The “Pink Heels Tour”; PinkFireTrucks.org arrived in San Jose on Saturday, May 21, 2011. The tour travels from city to city with the hope of raising awareness and support for women fighting cancer in their communities. The drivers are full-time firefighters who take periodic time off to drive a portion of the Pink Heals Tour across the nation.

Saturday’s wellness event was held at Camden Community Center with approximately 120 people in attendance including Councilman Don Rocha and staff, community members, San Jose Fire Department, Local 230, Dispatchers and many volunteers.

San Jose Fire Department would like to continue our efforts in supporting community members with cancer by having another tour in 2012. Let’s bring hope, awareness and cancer support to women fighting cancer within our community. We’re looking forward to seeing you at our next event.
