PORT Macquarie bakers have been busy helping raise funds for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) in this year’s Pink Bun Campaign.
The annual fund-raising campaign will see almost 600 bakeries donate 100 per cent of the sale of more than one million Pink Finger Buns to BCNA.
Chasing a record-breaking fundraising target in 2014, BCNA us encouraging Bakers Delight customers to buy a bun and help provide much-needed support for Australian women and families living with breast cancer. The campaign concludes just after Mother’s Day, which is Sunday 11 May.
BCNA CEO Maxine Morand, herself a breast cancer survivor, said Mother’s Day could be a difficult time for families affected by breast cancer.
“For many Australians affected by breast cancer, Mother’s Day takes on a special significance. My mother and I were both diagnosed. For some families it is a time to appreciate a loved one affected by breast cancer, while for others it is a time to reflect on the good memories of those we have lost,” Maxine said.
The money raised by Bakers Delight customers will support BCNA’s information resources provided to Australians affected by breast cancer such as the My Journey Kit, a free resource for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
The promotion will run until 14 May. You can find the Port Macquarie Bakers Delight is in Settlement City.
