Representatives of the Hammond-Henry Hospital Foundation recently received a check in the amount of $2,220 from the Geneseo Police Department. The funds were raised from the Department’s annual fundraiser to support breast cancer awareness.

The Department sold long-sleeve T-shirts, designed by Jessica Damewood, Geneseo Police Department Administrative Assistant. The shirts featured the message, “No One Fights Alone,” on the sleeve area, with the pink ribbon breast caner awareness logo imprinted on the front of the shirt. There are a limited number of shirts available to purchase at The Geneseo Police Department. Cost is $20 for each shirt.

Raising funds to support breast cancer awareness began in 2018 by the Geneseo Police Department when Chief Casey Disterhoft learned that other police departments were wearing pink patches during Breast Cancer Awareness in the month of October.

Funds raised in the last six years by the Geneseo Department total more than $11,500.

The Hammond-Henry Hospital Foundation will use the gift of money to benefit women’s health services in the Imaging Department at Hammond-Henry Hospital.
