Frequently asked questions

Pink Ribbon Breakfast is the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s longest-running signature campaign. The campaign runs throughout the month of October and invites everyday Australians to host an event to raise money for breast cancer research. Our hosts run all types of events such as breakfasts, lunches, and dinners and are held in all states by individuals, businesses, and even schools/community groups. Events differ in size and audience.

Absolutely. You can hold your Pink Ribbon Breakfast as a morning or afternoon tea, dinner, movie night or lunch – feel free to get creative. All that we ask is that you have fun and raise funds for breast cancer research.

You can choose to host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast event online instead. Simply, pick your Pink Ribbon Breakfast Day in October, choose the platform you will be using (Skype, Zoom or Facebook). Then invite everyone to get into the community spirit to raise funds for breast cancer research by asking them to donate to attend your event. Ask everyone to bring along their favourite beverage and treat on the day. Come together on that day, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
