We have received the following email from Eria (of the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation)

 

I am contacting you requesting the voluntary help of your group for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal on Friday 12^th and/or Saturday 13^th October 2018.

We rely on the voluntary help of groups like yours to make up almost a quarter of the 10,000 volunteers we need to run this appeal every year.

If your group would like to help we can assign your group to an allocated site to collect and you will be provided with all the buckets, ribbons, sashes etc. that you will need in order for the collection to happen. Whether your members can help us by volunteering at a site for one or both days, or whether individual members can volunteer for a few hours, we would welcome your support. We would love to be able to reassign your group to the site that you looked after in the past.

The challenge is still enormous and we would be grateful for your help to enable our work – through life saving early detection campaigns, research into better treatments and support for New Zealanders with the disease. It’s only through the involvement of amazing community groups like yours that we are able to support and educate others and we would be honoured if you would support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ this year.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

 

If anyone is willing to co-ordinate the manpower for this appeal (or is interesting in assisting with it) please contact Andrea (684 9274 or (0272) 736 454).
