The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station is set to participate in the Pink Patch Project, designed to bring awareness and raise funds to fight breast cancer, officials said Tuesday.

The Pink Patch Project is a public awareness campaign aimed at bringing attention to the fight against breast cancer and supporting cancer research organizations, according to City of Hope, the founding organization of the project.

The project was founded in Southern California in 2015 with The City of Hope and Irwindale Police Department.

Today, the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs’ Association and public safety agencies throughout the country make up more than 300 agencies that are part of the project, according to officials.

The bright pink, limited edition patches were designed by each participating agency specifically for the campaign.

To show support for breast cancer awareness, during the month of October Santa Clarita deputies will display the LASD pink patch on bulletin boards and desks, according to Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Deputies are not wearing them, but they were designed more as a commemorative patch,” said Miller.

From now until mid-November, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is expected to be selling its commemorative pink patches for $10 each.

All proceeds will go towards funding breast cancer research, treatment and education, according to officials.
