About the event
What is a Pink Bloom Party?
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?
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.
Head to your Dashboard here to find all the resources you need to make your Pink Bloom Party the party of the season!
Note - you will need to be logged into your account to access both your Dashboard.

How do I ask people for donations?
The best way is to keep it personal and from the heart. Let your friends and family know why you’re hosting a Pink Bloom Party and what it means to you. Share your Fundraising Garden with a short message about what this means to you, and remind them that every dollar supports breast cancer research. Most people are happy to give, they just need to be asked!
If people are unable to give cash donations, they might be able to offer something you could use in a raffle or auction.
How do I bank offline funds?
To bank any funds collected offline simply visit your Dashbord and select My Donations > Add offline donation. Once processed, these funds will automatically appear in your Fundraising Garden and be added to your fundraising total.
My friend cannot donate online, how can they support me?
No problem! Your friend can give you cash or transfer the monies to your bank account. You can then make a donation to your Fundraising Garden on their behalf by clicking 'Add Offline Donation' here. Just make sure to include their name and email address when entering the donation, so they receive a receipt for tax purposes.
How do I get tax receipts?
Receipts will automatically be sent to the email address entered when making the donation.
If you cannot locate your receipt, please check your junk inbox. If you still need help, email us at pinkbloomparty@bctrials.org.au and we can reissue your receipt.
When will my Fundraising Garden close?
Your Fundraising Garden will close on 30 November 2025, so you have plenty of time to raise funds for people impacted by breast cancer.
