We promise this is the last one tonight - but we saved the best for last! 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed in October each year highlighting the importance of early detection. The hope is to increase education and breakdown barriers to lifesaving screenings and treatment.  

But [any] cancer awareness and support cant just be for one month - for survivors, those in active treatment and the people who care about them, this is a daily battle.

Last year CPD supported 13 organizations who directly support research and support those impacted by cancer to include Zero Prostate, Pediatric Brain Cancer Foundation, and CVBCA through No Shave November. Beards are back, for one month only, starting tomorrow November 1st, 2026.

No one fights alone - the department is honored to continue to give back to some amazing organizations in honor of those who fought and continue to fight.
