A message from our team
Thank you for your generous support as a Walk for Women’s Cancer fundraiser. As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of the community to continue our lifesaving work and we are committed to getting the most out of the funds raised by our supporters.
With this in mind, we recently reviewed our fundraising activities and found that our Walk for Women’s Cancers and Pink Ribbon campaigns were very similar. We decided to integrate the Walk for Women’s Cancers with the Pink Ribbon campaign because the Pink Ribbon is better known, more established and has more fundraising options. This means that more of the funds you raise will go towards providing much needed services to help Queenslanders impacted by cancer.
