Wyandotte Firefighters Invite Community to Design T-Shirt for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For the second year in a row the Wyandotte Fire Department will sell t-shirts in October to raise money to provide free mammograms at Wyandotte Henry Ford Hospital.

The Wyandotte Fire Department is calling on the artistic talents of local residents to design t-shirts for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

The contest asks residents to submit a design to be used on t-shirts and to be sold to raise money for the Yes Ma'am Program at Wyandotte Henry Ford Hospital.

The Yes Ma'am Program provides free mammograms to women without insurance and other means of being screened.

Firefighter Brendt Frederick said he hopes the contest will aid in raising more money than last year.
