Salisbury Fire Raises Money For WSW Chapter

SALISBURY – On the heels of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Salisbury Fire Department presented a check to Women Supporting Women superseding prior year donations.

“This is year three of our efforts to support Women Supporting Women and breast cancer awareness, and this is our biggest year to date. We hope that is a trend that keeps moving forward,” Fire Chief Rick Hoppes said.


Fire Department employees returned to Council Chambers this year wearing pink Salisbury Fire Department T-shirts, which were sold as part of the fundraiser. As in past years, the fire department also hosted a corn hole tournament where every department of the city was represented and participated.

just finished giving to the nfl on cancer awareness, it was reported today that only 8% of the money actually was donated by the nfl. After the cancer overhead markups, maybe something will get to the patient who needs the treatment.

So my question on this "benefit" locally, how much of every dollar is directly to the patient?

Until recent years, the sure bet was to give to the church, why now to need to have some many special interest groups?

A local church "Oakridge Baptist Church" has begun a cancer support group for all people with cancer. No pressure to join...just friends meeting and sharing everything they might need to share... including helping each other. As a survivor.... I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT!

How many of the people that work for these organizations collect a paycheck? That is a wonderful thing the church is doing. I can't even believe that Women Supporting Women would even want Marly Lynk working for them. She is the biggest fake you could ever meet.
