Our Power of Pink Giving Day is happening!

This means your power to change the future of breast cancer diagnoses will be multiplied.
For one day only, a gift of $50 becomes $100...a gift of $75 becomes $150, and a gift of $500 becomes a phenomenal $1000.
What is Power of Pink Giving Day?
The Power of Pink Giving Day is a day when amazing people \come together to empower critical, world-class research that gives real hope to people facing breast cancer.
Pink because it's a colour we often associate with breast cancer, and it's the colour of our amazing squad.
And power because of the strength and impact of our Pink Squad when we unite for our vision — a future with Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
It's an incredible 24 hours when YOU can help change the future of breast cancer diagnoses... by powering up your gift, and in turn, powering up breast cancer research.
I'm really excited about our Giving Day because I've seen the difference our community can make in just 24 hours.
Why donors are so important
We urgently need donors' help to raise more money for breast cancer research for one simple but powerful reason.
...because more people are dying from breast cancer than ever before.
And that's not OK with us.
- Nine people die from breast cancer every day in Australia.
- It's estimated 3,300 people in Australia will die from breast cancer this year.
- And 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.
- That's more than 21,000 in 2024 alone.
We know research is the answer.
Life-saving research has already achieved extraordinary breakthroughs. Since we began 30 years ago, committed people have helped reduce the death rate from breast cancer in Australia by over 40 percent.
Donors are one of the stars of our Giving Day, because it's determination and generosity that will help us achieve our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
Last year, we saw just how powerful donors generosity is. Donors were a key part of the Pink Squad who smashed the fundraising target in our inaugural Power of Pink Giving Day.
This year, we’re even more determined to make sure that no one has to die from breast cancer.

Like donors, I don't want anyone to die from breast cancer. And, like donors, I am determined to find the answers, so we reach our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. The Power of Pink Giving Day means so much to me — and all the people donors help through research.
I’m excited about what we can achieve together!
