Dear Adelphi Community,
October is breast cancer awareness month and Adelphi’s Department of Public Safety and Transportation is thrilled to announce the fifth year of our Pink Patch initiative!
Since its launch in 2020 by Sergeant Gerry Lennon (retired), our Pink Patch has become a symbol of hope, awareness and community support. Each sticker helps raise vital funds for the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program, and sparks important conversations about early detection and access to support services.
We’re excited to continue this important effort with the Adelphi community. Here’s to five years!
Get your Pink Patch
You can purchase your patch online or pick one up in person at the Public Safety Office in Levermore Hall, Room 113 or the Public Safety Community Affairs Office in the Ruth S. Harley University Center, Room 104.
