Dear members,

We know that breast cancer doesn’t just affect the woman or
man who has been diagnosed – it has a ripple effect on partners, children,
friends, colleagues and all loved ones. This year more than 17,000 Australian
women and 144 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, making the need for
support and credible, evidence-based information more important than ever.

That’s why, with the support of our long-standing partners,
Bakers Delight, we’re calling on the Australian community to give breast cancer
the finger bun!

From 11 May to 31 May 2017 pop into your local
Bakers Delight and buy a Pink Bun to support all Australians affected by breast
cancer.

This year you can also:

  • Support the campaign by buying a special Bakers
    Delight Pink Bun carry bag.
  • Purchase a Pink Lady silhouette and write a
    message of support to be displayed in your local Bakers Delight bakery, or make
    a donation in the tins on the counter.
  • Get
    your workplace, school, social or community group involved by hosting a Pink
    Bun Party. On registration, BCNA will send you a Pink Bun Party pack free of
    charge, containing everything you need to turn your party pink! Register your Pink Bun Party here!

The money that Bakers Delight bakeries raise during the
Pink Bun campaign funds essential BCNA services, including the My Journey Kit, our information pack, which
is provided to people when they are first diagnosed with breast cancer. Each
year we send out more than 12,000 My
Journey Kits
free of charge.

We are excited to see everyone get involved in the campaign
again this year, and we are also inviting you to share your support on social
media using #givebreastcancerthefingerbun.

You can read more about the campaign here.

We are very thankful for the support of Bakers Delight and
the community every year, and want to thank everyone for helping us to give
breast cancer the finger bun!
