Pink Hat Campaign

The Pink Hat Campaign was created in 2012 by cancer survivor, Nick Errico, a retired Lieutenant with the Park Ridge Police Department, to support his wife through Breast Cancer awareness and research. He began this organization by creating personalized pink hats for police officers/firemen to wear while on duty. This has since expanded to many locals within the community supporting this great cause. From 2012 to 2024, over $250,000 has been raised. All proceeds were donated to the OctoberWomen foundation which supports Columbia University Cancer Center. The money was used to fund research and to support women who are currently being treated for cancer. All current proceeds are being donated to Breast Cancer research through Columbia Cancer Center and for Childhood Cancer research through St. Jude’s. Thank you!
