COVINGTON, Ga. - The Covington Fire Department became pretty in pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month as they help raise proceeds for Piedmont Newton Hope Boutique.

The CFD released its annual breast cancer awareness t-shirt and all proceeds from the tees will be donated to the Hope Boutique. Hope Boutique, located at 4181 Hospital Drive, provides wigs, prostheses, turbans and more to local and distant breast cancer fighters and survivors.
