(Atlantic) Mike Blevins and Donnie Drennan with Pymosa Lodge 271 cut the sleeves off of Atlantic Police Chief Dave Erickson’s uniform this afternoon…. for a good cause.
The Atlantic Police Department is participating in the Pink Patch Project to promote awareness for breast cancer, as well as other forms of cancer.
“When I was getting my flu shot this morning I was going to buy a patch from Police Chief Erickson and he said $50 and you can rip it off of my sleeve or cut it off of my sleeve and I said ‘accepted’. I figured I’d donate proceeds from Pymosa Lodge to this,” explained Mike Blevins.
Donnie Drennan said, “Mike called me and I said I would match his $50, so we’re going to do two sleeves.”
Atlantic Police Chief Dave Erickson said he welcomes a challenge. If you can beat that $100 for two sleeves, he will let you cut his sleeves off at the November 4th City Council meeting.
“The higher the better, it’s all for a good cause,” said Chief Erickson.
The Police Department is selling pink uniform patches as a fundraiser. Funds raised from the sales of pink uniform patches will be donated to the Cass County Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society. Patches can be purchased for $10 per patch during normal business hours at the Atlantic Police Department, Atlantic City Hall, and the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce.
