Pink Heals Ball

CRANSTON FIRE: Members of the Cranston Fire Department attended the Pink Heals Ball on April 30 at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick.

PINK SNEAKERS: Pictured are Theresa Arena, Jenna Lucky, Harmony Palmer, and Jessica Cyckevic, who wore pink sneakers with their gowns because “we don’t wear heels.”

LUCKY WINNER: Irene Steele was just one lucky winner of $500 during the pink box raffle.

TOP PRIZE: During the Pink Heals Ball, attendees were able to purchase a pink box from among 300 to reveal who won what prize. Taking the top prize – which included a handmade Hope Chest, tickets and souvenirs for the Boston Red Sox, and gift certificates – was Sandie Lancaster, pictured with Pink Heals member Matt Medeiros.

HONOR GUARD: Opening ceremonies included a pipe and drum presentation by members of the RI Professional Firefighter’s Pipes and Drums Corps followed by a presentation of the Honor Guard. Pictured, from left, are Paul Foisy of the Cumberland Fire Department, Loren Dailey of the Bridgeport, Conn., Fire Department, Scott Mooney of the Johnston Fire Department, Ray Castelli of the Central Coventry Fire Department, and Bryan Wall of the West Warwick Fire Department.

The Pink Heals RI Chapter held its fifth annual Pink Heals Ball on April 30 at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick. Approximately 500 people were in attendance, making this year’s event the most successful yet. The Pink Heals provide support and compassion for those battling cancer. Often seen with their pink fire apparatus and pink fire gear, they often travel around the state to visit and bring flowers to those fighting the disease. (Herald photos by Steve Popiel)
