Massachusetts Pink Patch Project Police Departments Gather for 2023 Photos

In an extraordinary display of unity and support, law enforcement agencies across Massachusetts recently gathered at the historic U.S.S. Constitution in Boston for the much-anticipated 2023 group photo for the Massachusetts Pink Patch Project. This annual gathering, aims to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support services.

The Massachusetts Pink Patch Project is part of a nationwide initiative that began in 2013, involving police departments across the United States. Participants don pink patches on their uniforms during the month of October, which is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These patches symbolize law enforcement's commitment to making a difference and fighting against the disease that affects millions of women and families around the country.

The U.S.S. Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, served as a fitting backdrop for this year's group photo. Law enforcement officers dressed in their formal uniforms, stood side by side with pride, donning their pink patches, forming a visually striking and powerful image.
This year's event was an extraordinary success, with almost 100 officers gathering for the group photo. The scene was both awe-inspiring and emotional, with the U.S.S. Constitution serving as a symbolic reminder of the strength and resilience required to overcome breast cancer.

The Massachusetts Pink Patch Project not only raises awareness about breast cancer but also contributes to vital research and local support services. Through the sale of pink patches and other merchandise, participating law enforcement agencies raise funds that are donated to breast cancer organizations and charities across the state. These contributions help to provide critical financial assistance to those in need, support survivors, and contribute to ongoing research efforts.

The 2023 gathering at the U.S.S. Constitution showcased the strong bond and camaraderie among Massachusetts law enforcement officers. It demonstrated their tireless efforts to come together and use their platform, influence, and resources to make a significant impact in the fight against breast cancer.

The Massachusetts Pink Patch Project continues to grow each year, demonstrating the collective strength and unwavering support of law enforcement in the fight against breast cancer. Their commitment is inspiring, and their efforts truly make a difference in the lives of countless individuals and families across the state.
