Cancer Council’s Pink Ribbon campaign aims to raise awareness about breast and gynaecological cancers, as well as raise funds for prevention programs, support services and vital cancer research, throughout October.
And, there are many ways you can help to raise funds.
Host a pink event
Host a pink-themed party, morning tea, trivia night or another event to raise money for women’s cancers.
Do you hold a regular barbecue, book club, bingo night or mother’s group? Why not make the next one pink-themed? You could try charging a ticket price, bringing in pink food to sell, or getting your hands on a range of prizes to raffle off.
Wear pink
Encourage your guests or colleagues to wear pink and make a donation at your next get-together. Hold a best-dressed competition or make a rule that anyone who doesn’t wear pink, has to donate extra.
You could even see if people will sponsor you to wear nothing but pink for a whole week, or even a month.
Get active in pink
Support the cause by adding a pink twist to your next yoga class, workout group or sporting event.
Whether everyone wears a pink headband or wristband, or decks themselves out head-to-toe in pink, it’s a great way to raise awareness and funds for those affected by women’s cancers.
Get active
Do you want to make your moves count? Add pink to your next fitness adventure. Every Pink step, stretch, lap or pedal push this October will get us closer to a breast cancer free future.
Shave, cut or colour
Doing something crazy with your hair is a powerful way to raise awareness and feel the Power of Pink. Whether you shave your head, dye your hair, wax your legs or chop off your ponytail, your courageous act will inspire your friends to support you.
Celebrate in Pink
Whether you’re celebrating a loved one, a special occasion or just how amazing you are – turn it pink and celebrate with purpose! Jump online and host a dinner party, trivia, pink mocktail night, or head outdoors and catch up over a picnic.
