It&#8217;s estimated that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer can have a profound and lasting impact on both the patient and her loved ones, but this is a disease that can be effectively treated through surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Pink Patch Project has a simple goal: increase awareness about the life saving benefits of early detection and intervention in the fight against breast cancer. The Project&#8217;s symbol is a bright pink version of the public safety officer&#8217;s uniform patch, and each participating agency has specially designed their own patch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9946 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pomonaswapmeet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2017-Pink-Patch-e1501612764391.jpg?resize=600%2C413\" alt=\"Pomona PD Pink Patch\" width=\"600\" height=\"413\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How Can You Support the Pink Patch Project?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Pomona Police Department will be set up on the Main Aisle of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pomonaswapmeet.com\/event-info\/car-show-hours-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>the Pomona Swap Meet on Sunday, August 13th<\/strong><\/a>, to sell Pomona Police Pink Patches, pins, t-shirts, and Pink Patch Project collector coins.
