Gonzalez, represented Corpus Christi Firefighters Cancer Awareness Relief Effort (C.A.R.E.), which is a nonprofit organization focused on supporting local Coastal Bend families affected by cancer. He discussed with students the various types of cancers and how the organization acquired the "Pink Truck." Students were also given a tour of the bright vehicle.
