This is a press release from the California Highway Patrol:

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will hold a check presentation to benefit cancer research as a result of funds raised by the Pink Patch Project. The check will reflect the proceeds from the sale of the CHP’s pink patches that were purchased by its active and retired employees in the fight against cancer.

The Pink Patch Project is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs’ Association and more than 260 public safety agencies across the nation. The CHP has partnered with the Pink Patch Project to combat cancer by raising public awareness, along with funds, for research and treatment.
