The Bartlett Fire Department (BFD) presented a $3,500 check to the West Cancer Clinic at the Nov. 24 Bartlett city board meeting. The funds raised came from the sales of the BFD “Pink Heals” T-shirts.

At the meeting, the department expressed appreciation for all who supported the cause by buying the shirts.

Additional shirts from the current and past years are available for $10 to $15, depending on size and year. They can be picked up at Fire Station 1 Administrative Offices, 2939 Altruria Road, Bartlett. Call the station’s non-emergency number at (901) 385-5536 with any inquiries.
