The pink fire trucks will be on display Friday, September 17, 2010 10 am to 1pm at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando (1400 S. Orange Ave.) and Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children (92 West Miller Street).
The public is invited to stop by and sign the pink fire engines with messages of support.
The pink fire trucks are traveling the nation to spread cancer awareness as part of the “Pink Heals Tour," manned by professional firefighters in full pink gear who call themselves the “Guardians of the Ribbon.”
Local firefighters have partnered with Pink Heals for this free event, hosting fitness challenge games for children and adults, selling pink T-shirts and collecting donations, with proceeds to benefit M.D. Anderson – Orlando.
Additionally, the Pink Heals fleet of fire trucks will be deployed throughout the day at locations in Winter Park, Orlando and Reedy Creek. The final event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Wall Street Plaza in downtown Orlando, where crews will park five pink trucks for the closing celebration of the Central Florida tour.
