About this Event

Pink Ribbon Morning Tea - Empowering Women: Mind, Body, and Community

Welcome to our annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast — a morning dedicated to empowering women in every aspect of their lives.
Join us for an inspiring event filled with meaningful conversations, a nourishing breakfast, and the strength of community.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in New Zealand, with nine women diagnosed every single day. That’s why raising awareness and educating all women about breast health is so vitally important.

This breakfast isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s a heartfelt community experience. With your support, we can amplify our impact, provide valuable wellness resources, and raise vital funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Our event brings together local experts, passionate businesses, and individuals united by a shared commitment to women’s health and well-being. Through powerful stories, education, and connection, we’ll explore the emotional impact of breast cancer, the importance of self-care, and the tools that build personal resilience.

As part of the morning, we’ll also be hosting an exciting auction featuring a range of prizes generously donated by local businesses. All proceeds from the auction will go directly toward our fundraising efforts, further supporting breast cancer education, awareness, and support services.

Let’s come together to celebrate the courage and strength of women, raise awareness, and support one another on the journey to wellness.

Nourish your mind with insightful discussions, pamper your body with wholesome delights, and connect with a caring community.

Mark your calendar — we can’t wait to share this empowering experience with you.


If you are not going to be able to attend the event, but you still want to contribute to the cause, please go to our fundraiser link (https://fundraise.bcf.org.nz/fundraisers/paullasilva/pink-helpers) to support our cause. Your help matters, and every little bit counts.


Please note: This is a ticketed event, and entry will only be granted with a valid ticket. Your ticket purchase not only secures your place at the morning tea but also directly supports our fundraising efforts for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to book early to avoid missing out.
