Our local law enforcement is at it again, supporting our community in the fight against cancer, one generous donation at a time.

The Putnam Police Department raised $1,500 through its 2025 Pink Patch Project fundraiser to benefit the Northeast Connecticut Cancer Fund of DKH. Proceeds from the fundraiser help provide financial assistance for cancer screenings and treatment services to individuals in northeast Connecticut who may not have the resources to access the care they need.

The Pink Patch Project is a nationwide public awareness campaign championed by law enforcement agencies to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer. Since beginning this annual fundraiser in 2020, the Putnam Police Department has raised funds through the sale of pink lightbulbs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, patches, and custom poker chips. Their contributions have totaled $29,500, helping to ensure that members of our community have access to critical medical care.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the officers and staff for their generosity and unwavering commitment not only to public safety, but to the health and well-being of the community they serve.
