Pasadena Police Department Raises $40,000 for Breast Cancer Care at Huntington Cancer Center

The Pasadena Police Department recently presented a $40,000 donation to Huntington Cancer Center, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai Cancer, following its month-long “Stronger Together” fundraising campaign during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. The contribution will help provide breast cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients who cannot afford the cost of care.

The “Stronger Together” campaign featured community events, merchandise sales and partnerships with local businesses aimed at raising awareness and funds for breast cancer care.

“The Pasadena Police Department is proud to stand alongside Huntington Cancer Center in the fight against breast cancer,” said Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris. “This donation reflects our commitment to supporting the health and well-being of our community. By working together with local partners and residents, we can make a real difference for those in need.”

Joining Harris at the check presentation were members of Huntington Health’s executive leadership team, along with Huntington Cancer Center physicians, nurses and administrative staff.

“On behalf of the entire team at Huntington Cancer Center—and our current and future patients—we extend a heartfelt thank you for PPD’s support of breast cancer care and awareness this year,” said Howard Kaufman, MD, Regional Medical Director, Huntington Cancer Center. “This collaboration underscores the power of community partnerships in raising awareness and providing critical resources to ensure access to cancer care for all who need it.”

Special thanks were extended to California Metro Patrol, California Pizza Kitchen/Pasadena, Color Me Mine Pasadena, Diane Reed, Gladstone Donuts, Home Depot, Hyatt Place, Langham Huntington, Pasadena, Lisa Derderian, Magnolia House Restaurant, Muscle Labs, Neighborhood Survants, Nutrishop, Pasadena Police Foundation, Pasadena Police Relief Association, Paul Rusnak, Rebecca & Terry Crews, Ruth Chris, Starbucks, Target and Warby Parker for their dedication and leadership in making the campaign a success.
