Come together and host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast during May! The money you raise helps Breast Cancer Foundation NZ fund breast cancer research and patient support.
It’s also great fun and a wonderful way to get friends together. So pull out the poshest crockery, your best cutlery and your tastiest recipes for some fundraising fun. Can’t make a breakfast work for your schedule? Then why not host a weekend brunch or an afternoon tea?
Hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast
- Plan when and where you will host your breakfast – it can be at home, at work, as a school event, anywhere at all
- Head to the Pink Ribbon Breakfast website to find out how to register as a host
- Use the resources on the Host Resources page to help you plan, get fun ideas, and more
- We’ve included some recipes from the Kidspot Kitchen below to get you started on your menu

Our local bar hosted a Pink night and everyone who came in had to wear something pink. I believe they also asked for Gold coin donation as entry fee that goes to the Foundation. What a cool idea to do a host party though. It’s a good way to raise awareness and have a cool party with friends.
What a great idea. I had some work mates go to the pink ribbon breakfast in Timaru on Saturday morning and said it was brilliant. Would love to go and support the great cause when they do it again
I would love to do something like this – I have 2 close friends who have had breast cancer and luckily caught it early enough and are fine at the minute 🙂 This would be a super fun way to meet up with friends and also raise money at the same time. Most people like food and chat, I know I do 🙂
