From the East Joliet Fire Protection District Facebook page:

Today…. was an AMAZING Day. We have been keeping a secret.. a pretty big (fire truck size) secret. Today… we dedicated our 3rd Pink Fire Truck (4th Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter vehicle) to our FABULOUS friend, (that we LOVE so much)…. Michelle Darguzis. ?
Michelle has been a wonderful friend to our Chapter from the beginning. From requesting visits for people she knew were battling, to setting up the super fun, “On the Hunt for Pink Trucks” Scavenger Hunt… to speaking for us at our Mother’s Day Walk and attending several of our Events. She truly has been there for us as one of our biggest supporters. Today we were able to honor her. What a surprise… and we are all just so thrilled to welcome our new truck, MICHELLE, to our Chapter. Our Director of Events, Debbie Trimmer, said it best… “Today was the BEST DAY of 2020!”?

This AWESOME truck and the dedication for Michelle would not have been possible without some very important people!! First.. a HUGE THANK YOU to East Joliet Fire!!! 4 years ago, East Joliet, along with Fire Chief Scholtes and the Fire District Board voted to donate one of their retired trucks to Pink Heals. Since that time, Chief Scholtes passed away. We now will carry his name everywhere we go with a beautiful plaque in his honor. Thank you so much East Joliet Fire!!!?

Our next HUGE THANK YOU goes out to our wonderful friends at ALL AMERICAN RECYCLING!!! Last Fall.. AAR contacted us to let us know that they wanted to help us get this 3rd truck on the road. AAR has been so very supportive of Pink Heals with our Annual Mothers Day Walk and the Save the Cans Fundraisers. We couldn’t possibly be more appreciative for all they have done for us. Thank you so much AAR!!! ?

Our next HUGE THANK YOU is to MO-GRAPHICS in New Lenox!!! AAR reached out… and MO-GRAPHICS generously wrapped our MICHELLE truck!! She is GORGEOUS and we are so extremely thankful for all they did for us. Thank you MO-GRAPHICS!!! ?

Please help us send HUGE THANK YOU’S to East Joliet Fire, All American Recycling and MO-GRAPHICS!!!! and…. help us WELCOME our newest “girl” MICHELLE!!!
