However, for the organization Pink Heals, these vehicles are an iconic symbol of the group’s efforts to raise support, help and awareness for women with cancer. Run by firefighters and police personnel who volunteer their time, the pink truck and police car are just one way that Pink Heals raises awareness against cancer.
