I’m very excited to be involved with Pink Fridays for the first time this year. I’m already dreaming about pink cupcakes and marshmallows. It might even be an excuse to buy some new pink shoes! On a serious note, my mum died of breast cancer when I was little, so I know only too well how scary it can be not only for the person with the illness but for their friends and families too. That’s why I’m encouraging everyone I know to have a Pink Friday party to ensure Breast Cancer Care can be there for anyone affected by breast cancer. Thank you.
Pink pirates take over Bristol
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.
