Goodbye Pink Firetruck! Pink Heals Solano Shuts Down

For ten years, Pink Heals Solano has brought out its pink firetruck to local events and supported families battling cancer. The Solano County chapter of Pink Heals sadly announced last week that it was closing. The big pink firetruck (named “Christine”) found a new home with the Norcal Emergency Responders Organization. 

We’ll miss Christine and all the support Pink Heals has provided our community over the years!
