Retreats Tasmania's Pink Ribbon Breakfast

Help me reach my goal of $1,500

Please support our Pink Ribbon Morning Tea

1 in 7 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  

That is why we are hosting a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea event this October to raise vital funds for breast cancer research and help NBCF towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. 

Please support us by either joining our Pink Ribbon Morning Tea event or donating to our online fundraising page to help us reach our goal. 

Together, we can stop deaths from breast cancer.

Thank You to our amazing sponsor Tom Fredericks

Wednesday 22nd Oct
Can you help us find this generous stranger?
In early September, one of our team members, Barbara, visited a local bottle shop to ask about donations for our upcoming Pink Ribbon Morning Tea on October 30th.?
While the store wasn't able to contribute, something remarkable happened just moments later.?
A kind-hearted customer who had overheard Barbara’s story approached her outside - and gifted her a bottle of Wild Turkey Whiskey and a bottle of Jaraman Shiraz wine. ?
He explained that these were the favourite drinks of 2 people very special to him, who sadly passed away from cancer. This deeply personal and generous gesture left us all at Retreats Tasmania incredibly moved.?
We’d love to find this amazing gentleman and thank him properly.?
We believe his name is Tom Fredericks - and we’re asking for your help. If you know Tom, or if this story sounds familiar, please reach out. And if you don’t - please share this post so we can spread the word and hopefully reconnect with this wonderful soul.?
Tom, if you see this: your kindness has made a lasting impact. ?

A Morning Tea for Pink Ribbon Day

Wednesday 13th Aug

On October 30, Retreats Tasmania is hosting a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s an opportunity to come together—over tea, treats, and friendship—to raise awareness and funds for crucial breast cancer research here in Australia.

This event is part of the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s nationwide Pink Ribbon Breakfast campaign, inviting everyday Australians to host any gathering—morning or afternoon tea, brunch, lunch, or dinner—to contribute to life-saving breast cancer research National Breast Cancer Foundation+1.

Why October 30 (or Any Day That Suits You)?

NBCF specifically spotlights October 30 as a key date, but you're welcome to choose a day that works best for you—whether that’s earlier or later in the month National Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s flexible because every contribution, regardless of timing, directly supports progress.

Breast Cancer in Australia: The Facts That Move Us

Here’s why this matters:

  • Every day, 58 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer—about 21,000 diagnoses each year, including men nbcf.org.aubcna.org.au.
  • Tragically, an average of 9 lives are lost daily to this disease—over 3,300 people annually nbcf.org.au.
  • Thankfully, thanks to vital research and early detection, the 5-year survival rate has risen from 76% to around 92% in recent decades nbcf.org.au National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Why Your Gathering Can Make a Difference

NBCF doesn’t rely on government funding—it depends entirely on generous community support to drive cutting-edge breast cancer research across Australia, with the goal of one day reaching Zero Deaths from breast cancer nbcf.org.au National Breast Cancer Foundation

Every dollar makes a difference, and you do not have to attend an event to contribute.  You can simply donate online to show your support.

When you support the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), you’re supporting world-class research of outstanding scientific quality and potential to contribute towards NBCF’s vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. 

These projects are funded in meritorious order via NBCF’s independent and rigorous review system. NBCF funds ground-breaking research focussed on better understanding how to prevent and detect breast cancer early, how to stop the progression and recurrence of breast cancer and how to effectively treat hard-to-treat and metastatic breast cancers – research that ultimately save lives.  

By supporting the NBCF Pink Ribbon Day, you’re not just raising funds—you’re raising hope!
