PEOPLE HOSTING AN INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY FUNDRAISER

RAISED FOR
BREAST CANCER RESEARCH
International Women's Day (IWD) is on Sunday 8 March 2026. Will you hold a fundraiser this March to celebrate women and make an impact for world-class breast cancer research?
This year's theme for IWD is 'Give to Gain'. By doing something this March, like hosting a morning tea with friends or at work, holding a pink pilates class or hosting a small gala dinner, you can help make a difference.
Did you know... The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is proud to support women in STEM. In 2024-2025, we funded 13 new research projects led by women, including our exceptional first-ever Collaborative Research Accelerator Grant.
When you Give to Gain this March, you can create better outcomes for the 56 people in Australia diagnosed with breast cancer every day.
IDEAS for YOUR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY FUNDRAISER
Why not host a Pink International Women's Day themed Morning Tea!
Grab your friends and family, get everyone to wear their best pink outfit and hold a quiz, involving questions about some iconic women! P.S. We've got an IWD themed quiz for you to use!
Get active!
You could use International Women's Day and March to get active and bring your community together. You could feel great by holding a pink-themed gym class, like pilates or jazzercise!
It's time to give yourself a new hair do!
International Women's Day is the perfect opportunity to shave, cut or colour your hair! If you aren't feeling ready for a permanent change, you could always try a temporary style for the month!
You're funding hope
If we can stop breast cancer from progressing and recurring, we can help end deaths from breast cancer. This is why ‘Stop’ is one of the four core research objectives in our Pink Horizon Research Strategy.
Amy was diagnosed in January 2024, and her mum was diagnosed with breast cancer the same week, which was luckily caught early.
“Everything just stopped. The next 2 weeks were a whirlwind of appointments, more scans/tests. It was so overwhelming and scary - for my 3 young daughters, what was to come, you just think the worst-case scenario and start planning for that in an instant!
Being under 40, I had the opportunity to undergo genetics testing which turns out that mine is not due to a gene fault. It's what the geneticist called, bad luck.
I'm coping well with treatment and have found that keeping the body and mind active through exercise, work and maintaining some normality helps a lot."
