Fundraising Activities

The Breast Cancer Research Trust relies on community fundraising to enable us to fund our research to find a cure for breast cancer.  In a wonderful sign that awareness of The Trust, its work and its goal is growing, there is an increased interest from a wide variety of members of the community supporting breast cancer research through fundraising activities.

There are diverse collections and events run throughout New Zealand by individuals, clubs and businesses who are committed to contributing to The Breast Cancer Research Trust.   All donations are welcome, and we are grateful for the hard work that everyone puts in to make these successful events. Below are a small selection of the latest activities that have taken place: 

$1000 Challenge!

A new fundraising initiative this year called the $1000 Challenge, is for you to raise $1000 dollars, and by doing so be part of finding a cure! How you raise your $1000 is over to you, but here are five ideas to get you started:

1. Bake and sell 1000 cupcakes for $1 each
2. Walk 100 dogs for $10 each
3. Get 20 friends and colleagues to donate $50 each
4. Write out a cheque – easy but effective!
5. Charge for making cups of tea in the office

There’s a way to rise to the challenge no matter what your talents or interests are - the options truly are endless and the choice is yours!

The inaugural Les Mills BOOBCAMP starts at the end of this month on the 31st August.

We are thrilled to have the following celebrities leading the charge in 2009 - League star Monthy Beetham, TV producer/ presenter Carol Hirschfeld, RadioSport personalities Miles Davis and Willie Lose, actress Miriama Smith, and TV personalities Mary Lambie and Nerida Cortese.

Once again the team at Moselle Panel & Paint took over the Kumeu Car Show and set the standard for the most exciting and striking exhibit. Amongst the many stunning items on display were the Greg Murphy bonnet which had actually been spray painted live at the 2008 show and the 'Trelise Cooper' customised Vespa which had been auctioned off to great success at the Trust's Gala Ball Fire & Ice in September.  

Having set the bar high in 2008 the team were once again committed to raise even more money to support the Breast Cancer Research Trust. Lavish food, and drinks were on offer and a generally outstanding party atmosphere were other key elements which drew the crowds again in 2009 and saw the team once again beat the previous years fundraising targets.

The Trust is thrilled to have the support of this enterprising and passionate team. Stay tuned for 2010 and watch some even more exciting Trust projects unfold thanks to this talented bunch of westies!
