Pink buns make a difference

LOCAL breast cancer survivor and musician Tracey Combes and Bakers Delight Noosa Junction are rolling up their sleeves to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer during the Bakers Delight Pink Bun campaign.
From 21 April to 11 May, Bakers Delight Noosa Junction will join over 600 bakeries throughout Australia to raise $1.5 million for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) in this year’s pink bun campaign.
Now in its 11th year, all proceeds from the sale of the pink buns go directly BCNA through this colourful and delicious fund-raising campaign.
Money raised from the pink bun campaign supports essential BCNA services including the creation of the My Journey Kit, an information pack provided to people newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
BCNA’s Chief Executive Christine Nolan said it was predicted that nearly 16,000 Australians would be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone. Every day 43 women in Australia will be told they have breast cancer and seven will lose their lives to the disease.
“Bakers Delight bakeries across the country donate 100 per cent of the Pink Bun sales throughout the Pink Bun Campaign to support the vital work we do and to fund the much needed My Journey Kit,” she said.
“BCNA’s My Journey Kit, a free resource for people newly diagnosed with breast cancer, reaches over 80 per cent of Australians affected by breast cancer.
“We want to reach 100 per cent of people diagnosed and our work is not done until we reach everyone.
“Over the course of the partnership Bakers Delight has raised more than $15 million for BCNA and we are so grateful for this support.”
Tracey will join the franchisee owner Stephen Tindal at Noosa Junction Bakers Delight on Friday 6 May from 9am to 12noon to help raise awareness of breast cancer and anyone who has been affected by the disease is welcome to stop and chat with Tracey.
