As of Thursday, October 1, Swainsboro-Emanuel County Parks and Recreation Department turned the water that flows from the fountain of Patriots Park pink to commemorate October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The fountain is located within the area of Downtown Swainsboro and is accustomed to dawning pink shades in its flowing waters on an annual basis in effort to raise awareness and support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international campaign. The campaign also assists in raising funds for research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure as well as offers information and support by individuals affected by this disease.
