Pink Out Marble Falls was formed on a vision to paint the entire town PINK to show support for out community members that have cancer, have had cancer, or have a loved one that has been affected by cancer. It is our mission for the community to know we are all here to support those in need.
Why PINK?
The fire service as a whole picked up the color pink years ago for the month of October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In keeping with part of that tradition, Marble Falls Fire Rescue starts to wears pink the week of Pink Out (usually the last week in September and for the entire month of October. However, Pink Out is NOT just about Breast Cancer it is an awareness of ALL types of cancer. It is our goal to focus on those community members that have been affected by cancer no matter what type.
So what is Pink Out?
Pink Out is a huge community involvement almost block party for Marble Falls. We start early Thursday morning pinking out the town. Then we meet in Downtown Marble Falls for a community block party filled with pink, fun activities for all ages, and tons of cancer awareness information. On Friday, we drive around town and make special visits to members in our community that have been affected by cancer. It is full lights and sirens as we escort the Crossroads Guardians of Hope around town.
