WORKPLACE GIVING CAMPAIGN To mark Workplace Giving Month, BCNA ran an online campaign throughout June that focused on the importance of having a supportive employer and colleagues at the time of a breast cancer diagnosis. BCNA can help make difficult workplace conversations associated with breast cancer easier.

MIDDY’S LADIES’ LUNCHEONS This year, Middy’s have held three Ladies’ Luncheons in Victoria to bring the team together to raise money and awareness for BCNA. Through the luncheons and a Pink Bun Morning Tea, Middy’s raised over $34,000 and, thanks to the Middendorp family generously matching every dollar, donations have now exceeded $68,000. Thank you Middy’s for your ongoing support!
Alyssa, the ‘sales guru’ who has been a part of the Bakers Delight family for 11 years, and the extended team also includes Danielle and Matthew’s daughter and two of Alyssa’s siblings. The team love the Pink Bun campaign and thank their amazing staff and customers, including the local footy club, who supported the campaign this year to help them achieve their highest campaign year yet. This year they raised over $12,187 and have donated over $46,000 since owning the store. ‘ We hope we have helped create and build awareness here in Warners Bay and surrounds! We personally know many people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, so being able to spread the message of how BCNA can help and support Australians who have been affected by the disease has been extremely rewarding.’ Danielle said.
FREEMASONS COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER BCNA received a generous donation from the members of Gregorios Lodge and Freemasons Foundation Victoria to fund new laptops to help BCNA continue to be flexible and adaptable in providing its services.
