Multiple Ways You Can Support JENCC This October
October means PINK! Pink means Breast Cancer Awareness. And while we treat more types of cancer than just breast cancer, this October, there are multiple ways you can support the June E. Nylen Cancer Center and our mission of providing the most advanced cancer care here in Siouxland through prevention, treatment, and research.

They have done this for years and have had multiple different designs. The current shirt is long sleeved gray shirt with a pink and white Pink Power design.

Pink Patch Project
Nebraska law enforcement agencies are putting the cuffs on cancer in October through their participation in the Pink Patch Project (#PinkPatchProject). This innovative and collaborative effort started in the Los Angeles area to increase public awareness and funding for breast cancer research and treatment.
Throughout the month of October participating law enforcement agencies will be switching out their official agency uniform patches and replacing them with a pink patch. Members of the public can support the #PinkPatchProject by purchasing pink patches, t-shirts, and other apparel that are available the Dakota County Law Enforcement Center, 701 West 29th Street, South Sioux City, NE during the month of October and year-round. All proceeds generated from this campaign from the South Sioux City Police Department will benefit the June E. Nylen Cancer Center.
Sergeant Jeanette McFee of the South Sioux City Police Department coordinates the local efforts for the Pink Patch Project that benefits JENCC. A breast cancer survivor herself, she knows firsthand how important it is to have the June E. Nylen Cancer Center in our community. “Members of our local law enforcement are proud to help in the fight against cancer. The Pink Patch Project is one way we can raise funds for our local cancer center and we carry that forward into additional activities in No Shave November.”
Pinktober at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City
