TRENTON -- Any firefighter will tell you that T-shirts are a big part of firehouse culture.
They make them for specific fire houses and units, companies, for fire-themed charity events and even to memorialize fallen fireman.
In Trenton, Ron Hubscher Jr. has been one of the main suppliers of Trenton Fire Department (TFD) T-shirts for six years now through his business, Rons Fire House Tees
On Friday, the retired city firefighter donated $1,524 to Comprehensive Breast Care Surgeons of Bucks County, Pa. - proceeds from the pink-tinged TFD T-shirts he sold last year, mainly to city firefighters.
He's been donating T-shirt sale proceeds to different charities for years now, but this year's donation was special to him.
One of the doctors at the Bucks practice, Comprehensive Breast Care Surgeons doctors, Catherine D. Carruthers, treats his wife, Sandy - a breast cancer survivor.
Breast cancer has hit his wife's family hard, he said. Sandy's three sisters have had mastectomy's and her mother had breast cancer, too. Carruthers has done wonders for his wife, medically and personally.
"She's just a great doctor," Hubscher said.
Accepting the donation with Carruthers was Debra Kossousky, from the practice.
