For the seventh consecutive year, the Oxnard Police Department joined other law enforcement agencies across the country in October’s “Pink Patch” campaign to raise funds and spread awareness for the battle against breast cancer. Este año, Oxnard P.D. partnered with the Oxnard Police Community Foundation and local sponsors to raise funds through community “pop-up” fundraisers hosted at the Oxnard Police station, Ubicaciones de Starbucks en Oxnard, Anytime Fitness, and UFC Gym. Estos esfuerzos recaudaron un total de $7,270.00 for the Ribbons of Life Breast Cancer Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity that provides support to breast cancer patients and survivors across Ventura County.

2024 O.X.P.D. Pink Patch Campaign sponsors included: Asociación de Oficiales de Paz de Oxnard, Stacy Miller Public Affairs Inc., chico & Asociados, Cooperativa de crédito del condado de Ventura, Raising Cane’s, Ariel Palmieri [Realtor, Coldwell Banker Realty], and Tombstone Courage. Fundraising t-shirts were printed at a discount by Napalm Inc., and our ‘Pink Patch’ police unit was wrapped by Vogue Signs.

Throughout the course of the Oxnard Police Department’s seven-year participation in the Pink Patch campaign, the department has now raised over $89,500.00 for this important cause. According to Oxnard Chief of Police Jason Benites, these efforts stem from the Oxnard Police Department and Oxnard Police Community Foundation’s goal of making a positive impact and creating important connections in our community. Benites stated, “We are proud to support this effort, which not only raises awareness for breast cancer, but also fosters a sense of unity and community. United, we stand strong against this disease, honoring those who have fought, are fighting, and will fight. Our officers are committed to showing support for all those affected, and through our involvement, we hope to inspire others to take action and make a difference.”

Campaign sponsors noted:
