Getting Started
What is Think Pink?
Think Pink is the Cindy Mackenzie Breast Cancer Program's way of fundraising. We ask people on the Sunshine Coast community to Get Their Pink On and help raise funds for locals with breast cancer.
Some people hold a cake sale, organise a raffle, arrange a pink fancy dress competition or anything else that will help raise more money for people affected by breast cancer in their local community. Whatever you do, do it in pink and make every dollar count!
How do I get started?
You can join one of our fundraising events or create your own! Organising a fundraiser is fun and easy to do. You can team up with colleagues, family or friends, wear something pink and make a donation or get creative and run something your own way. It’s a simple way to show your support for the many people affected by breast cancer on the Sunshine Coast.
The best place to start is by registering your fundraiser. Once you've registered, you can name it what you like, set yourself a target and share with your family and friends. You can always drop us an email to tell us a little more about your plans, and we can help you with any questions or extra materials.
And if you would like any further advice, we’re here to help – you can call 1300 557 710 or email cindymackenzieprogram@uchealth.com.au and Lisa will be in touch.
Covid-19 keeps us on our toes with organising events but you can be sure we will keep the health and safety of everyone concerned at the forefront of our plans. We know that breast cancer doesn’t stop for anything and that every dollar you can help us raise will truly make a difference for people affected by breast cancer on the Sunshine Coast.
Why do I need to register?
So we can help you when you need it and shout your name from the rooftops. We're so grateful for your support and once you register we’re here to support you as much as we can.
You can also request a document which authorises you to fundraise on our behalf which you may need to show donors, sponsors and other event organisers.
What support can I expect?
Our team are just a phone call away to help you plan, organise and have the best time at your event. However, they can not run your event for you.
If you have a question or need help, please give us a call on 1300 557 710 - we're happy to help!
