The Pink Heals Tour 2010 has made several stops across Illinois, including Rockford, the IAFC trade show in Chicago, Matteson, Naperville, and now Buffalo Grove. Last night, the event brought three pink fire engines to Buffalo Grove, where they were joined by a Mount Prospect police car adorned with pink graphics and the Buffalo Grove IAFF Honor Guard. The trucks—two EONE Hush engines and a Spartan FMC Sentinel—have previously served in Bangor, ME; Tyler, TX; and Henry, VA.
On their Facebook page, the Pink Heals Tour describes themselves as “Cares Enough to Wear Pink: Guardians of the Ribbon.†This initiative, started by firefighter Dave Graybill in Phoenix, Arizona, aims to raise awareness about cancer by driving pink fire trucks across the U.S. The group includes firefighters, police officers, and community leaders who work together to support women battling cancer and encourage men to get involved. They are asking communities to wear pink on October 25, 26, and 27 to show solidarity with those affected by the disease. Their mission is not just to spread awareness but also to bring people together and offer hope to those in need.
Firefighter Steve Rusin from the Buffalo Grove Fire Department has been actively supporting the tour by selling pink and blue t-shirts to help raise funds. The event has become a powerful symbol of unity and compassion, with each truck covered in messages from individuals whose lives have been touched by cancer.
Photos from the event capture the moment the pink fire trucks arrived in Buffalo Grove, escorted by the local honor guard and joined by a Mount Prospect police car. Each truck is a moving tribute, filled with heartfelt messages from families and friends. The arrival was met with excitement and support from the community, as families gathered to welcome the tour and learn more about its mission.
A full photo gallery of the event is available for viewing, offering a glimpse into this meaningful and inspiring journey. Learn more at www.pinkfiretrucks.org and join the movement to support women fighting cancer.
