π£ππ WE DID IT HELENSBURGH!! OVER $100,000 DONATED TO BREAST CANCER RESEARCH IN THREE YEARS!! πππ£
WOW!! I am SO incredibly proud and absolutely elated to share what our amazing little community has achieved!! π₯Ήπβ¨
My goal this year was to hopefully surpass $100,000 donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) across our three years of Helensburgh Pink Ribbon.
AND WEβVE DONE IT!!! π₯²ππ
Helensburgh Pink Ribbon 2026 raised a RECORD-BREAKING $40,930 β our biggest fundraising year yet! β¨
Weβve also been able yo set aside $2,000 for our beautiful local Warrior Women, to create opportunities for connection, friendship and support throughout the year (guided by the women themselves.) π
This brings the 2026 NBCF donation total to $38,930 AND an incredible π $102,764 π across three years
A HUGE thank you to the Helensburgh Tigers for donating their bar proceeds again this year, an incredible $6,000! What an amazing contribution! π«Ά
A little about where the money goes: Pink Ribbon is 100% community and volunteer-led. Neither myself, the Tigers nor our wonderful volunteers receive payment.
Expences were higher this year as we made several essential event improvements including: larger marquees, catering, staging, additional AV equipment etc. And having sold my event-hire business, which previously supplied much of our furniture and decorations free of charge, we needed to hire and/or purchase additional items this year - decorations, signage, hilarious Diva Dash characters and other goodies, but this means that those investment now belong to Helensburgh Pink Ribbon and can be used for years to come! π
To our incredible sponsors, local businesses, suppliers, speakers, volunteers and every single person who attended, donated or supported us β LOOK WHAT WEβVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER!! π₯Ήπππ
Itβs been so heartwarming to see this event evolve and become so much more than just a day. Weβre not only supporting breast cancer research, but creating a space for women to feel seen, heard, celebrated, connected and EMPOWERED.
And that means the absolute world to me! π
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!
WHAT A COMMUNITY!! πππβ¨ππ«Ά
