Frequently Asked Questions

About the event

What is a Pink Bloom Party?

add remove

A Pink Bloom Party is a community fundraising event held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), where people gather with friends, family, colleagues or their community to raise funds for life-saving breast cancer research.

It's called a Pink Bloom Party because it celebrates hope, growth and life - symbolised by blooming flowers and the colour pink, which represents breast cancer awareness.

You can host anywhere - at home, in a garden, at work, in a community space or online. And you can host your way: a morning tea, picnic, dinner party or any kind of social gathering - wherever and however you bloom best!  

We can't wait to see how you bloom this October.

Do I have to hold my event on a certain date?

You can host your Pink Bloom Party on any day during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

We understand that sometimes plans change, so if you need to postpone your Pink Bloom Party and can't hold it in October, let us know at pinkbloomparty@bctrials.org.au. Your Fundraising Garden will stay open until 30 November 2025.
