I've been an ambassador for Breast Cancer Care for five years now and I always look forward to October. It's a chance to get all my friends and family together, have fun and make a real difference. Three thousand people people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this October alone. By holding a Pink Friday party, however small, you will help to ensure Breast Cancer Care can be there for each and every one of them. I'm going to see if I can organise one in the office this year - it's about time they donned some silly pink outfits!
Pink pirates take over Bristol

Stuck for ideas for your Pink Friday? Take inspiration from Enable Interactive, Breast Cancer Care's Bristol-based web agency who organised a whole afternoon of pink-themed fun and raised over £1000 in the bargain!
They began the day by choosing a pink pirate theme, presumably to tie in to Bristol's rich maritime history! They then all got a bus to Bristol Zoo where they went to see the flamingos (obviously) and then they danced a conga line all the way from the zoo to the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Finally, slightly exhausted from their epic conga, they found a nearby park where they had a 'pink-nic' with prawn cocktail crisps, strawberry cakes and pink doughnuts (ok not very healthy but certainly in keeping with the spirit of the day...).
It just goes to show that a little imagination can go a long way; all the Enable staff had a great afternoon out together and raised a really impressive amount for Breast Cancer Care as well. Remember if you are still struggling for what to do you can check out our ideas page.
