Who can register?
Anyone! Whether you're an individual, a team, a bunch of mates, or an entire construction site - registering for GO PINK is easier than you might think. If you're under 16, you'll just have to get parental consent first (it's a legal thing) - but use it as an excuse to get them signed up too!
What is a PINK pledge?
A pink pledge is your commitment to GO PINK and WEAR IT, SHAVE IT or COLOUR IT to raise funds this June.
WEAR IT can mean making a pledge to wear pink for a day, a week or the whole month. It can also mean making a pledge to GO PINK in your own way.
SHAVE IT means making a pledge to shave your hair, beard or moustache.
COLOUR IT means making a pledge to spray or dye your hair.

Is there a minimum amount I have to raise?
Raise as much as you can. Every dollar raised goes towards funding game-changing breast cancer research - the more you raise, the more research NBCF can fund. How awesome would it be if you reached your target! If you're stuck on how to boost your fundraising total, give us a call on 1300 803 551 or email us at gopink@nbcf.org.au
How can I learn more about the research NBCF funds?
Since 1994, when NBCF was first established, we have invested over $200 million into more than 600 world-class research projects. In that time, the death rate from breast cancer in Australia have reduced by over 40%. This has been in large part thanks to research in areas such as prevention, early detection and new and improved breast cancer treatments. It is progress to be proud of, but the job is not done.
