The San Marcos Fire Department is doing its part to raise money to fight breast cancer. In this Bobcat Update, Mandie Garcia tells us about the Pink Heals Charity event.
Firefighters, police officers, and local volunteers brought the Pink Heals Tour to San Marcos Embassy Suites on Saturday; promoting love and support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The nationwide tour travels with pink fire trucks for 57 days, making stops in about 100 cities. Founder Dave Graybill started the non-profit organization to raise funds for research and treatment for all life-threatening diseases.

The event was filled with live music and raffles. Cancer survivors shared stories and signed the pink trucks. Family and friends honored their loved ones who've been affected by disease. Tour General Manger Michelle Carswell enjoys promoting local charities with Pink Heals.

This was the second time the tour has stopped in San Marcos. Carswell says she hopes the event will be even bigger next year.
