Pink Rose Appeal
Give a little love and help raise money for the Cambridge Breast Cancer Research Unit by hosting a Pink Rose event.
The Pink Rose appeal is a year-round appeal to help raise money for vital research into breast cancer, undertaken at the Cambridge Breast Cancer Research Unit, to help achieve progress in understanding and treating this terrible disease.
How you can help
You are invited to 'give a little love' and host a dinner, lunch, cocktail party or other event for colleagues, friends or family. Your guests are asked to 'pay for their supper' by making a donation to the appeal, while having fun at the same time!
In the last five years Pink Rose events have raised over £300,000, and we would like to build on this success by aiming to raise £50,000 this year to support the 40,000 British women who are diagnosed with breast cancer annually. Research projects currently undertaken at the Cambridge Breast Cancer Research Unit will result in improvements into patient management within the next five years.
Celebrity Support
The appeal is supported by actress and model, Twiggy, and actress, Rebecca Mader.
Twiggy said: “The Pink Rose appeal is a wonderful way to support a very special cause and have fun at the same time. Why not host your own dinner or drinks party and give a little love for breast cancer research to help all women suffering from this terrible disease.”
Rebecca Mader said: "You can join hundreds of others in this year's Pink Rose appeal by holding your own special party for friends and family and ask them to make a donation to breast cancer research. Breast Cancer affects over 40,000 women in the UK every year, and more people than ever are surviving thanks to early diagnosis and improved treatment. Please join me in supporting a fantastic cause"
