REDDING - Getting up before the crack of dawn may be a normal day for most but getting out to greet and hand out pink carnations makes it all worth it. UPEC Representatives were out on Court Street in Redding Early Thursday greeting motorists as they stopped by for bags filled with information on Breast Cancer awareness and early detection. Business Manager Chris Darker was behind the scenes helping prepare the bags for members along with Union Rep. Christine Perry and other community volunteer’s to get the information out to the community. “We are proud that we could help this organization get the message out about early detection and that has an important mission that saves lives”, said Darker. Think Pink was originally started in Redding twelve (12) years ago by Dr. Michael Figueroa who practices in Redding. This event has spread across the nation.
