For the seventh year in a row, the Geneseo Police Department is supporting Women’s Health Services at Hammond-Henry Hospital. This began in 2018, when Chief Casey Disterhoft heard that other departments in the country were wearing pink patches for breast cancer awareness during the month of October. In that moment, a plan was conceived. Pink patches were sold the first year. T-shirts, masks, and stainless-steel tumblers are a few of the items sold since. This year, thanks to an anonymous donor, a half cow including processing (approximately a $2,500 value) will be raffled with the goal of raising funds and awareness. There is a second-place prize of a Geneseo gift basket. The drawing will be held November 8.
