The Pink Heals RI Chapter held its Annual Pink Heals Ball on April 22 at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick. Approximately 500 people were in attendance, making this another sold-out event. This year’s event was a Masquerade Ball with guest wearing their finest masks.

The program opened with a welcome by Pink Heals RI Chapter President Lt. Chris Seelenbrandt from the West Warwick Fire Department. This was followed by a joint city Color Guard from West Warwick, Warwick, Central Coventry, Newport and Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and then a performance by the RI Professional Firefighters Pipes and Drums.

The Pink Heals RI Chapter provides support and compassion for those who are 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 who are battling cancer.

The Pink Heals RI Chapter members along with their pink vehicles travel around RI to facilitate local fund raising. They provide free flower deliveries to those in treatment and provide a women’s center for those diagnosed as well as survivors.
