What are some ideas for fundraising?
Pink-Themed Gala/Dinner/Dinners or Luncheaons: Host a formal dinner or gala with a pink dress code, auctions, and raffles. Guests can bid on items or services donated by local businesses.
Charity Run/Walk or Swim Event: Organize a run, walk, or swim event where participants pay an entry fee and gather sponsorships. Each mile can represent a dedication to someone affected by breast cancer.Celebrate in Pink: Don't want anything for your birthday? Register with DIY and set up an appeal in your name for friends and families to donate to your campaign.
Pink Bake Sale: Sell pink-themed baked goods, like cupcakes, cookies, or pastries. A "Bake for a Cure" twist can attract supporters with a sweet tooth.
Can I fundraise and just donate later?
Unfortunely it is preferred you make contact to authoriuse permission to fundraise. A formal letter is issued for a set time period, and for no longer than 12 months, and following the conclusion of the fundraising activity/event the Authority to Fundraise letter previously issued, must be returned to Breast Cancer Research Centre-WA, with the Financial Reporting Statement and any accompanying receipts.
Can I process tax-deductible receipts?
BCRC-WA can provide official tax-deductible receipts for donations of $2 or more received at a fundraising activity/event. The Community Fundraiser must keep a record including contact details of all attendees/ supporters eligible for a tax-deductible receipt and return these details to BCRC-WA so receipts can be issued. We can provide triplicate receipt books for this purpose.

Will my event be promoted?
If the Community Fundraiser wishes to promote BCRC-WA, they must refer to BCRC-WA as “Breast Cancer Research Centre-WA” or “BCRC-WA”. The following text may be used to briefly describe BCRC-WA: “Breast Cancer Research Centre-WA’s purpose is to improve the outcome and minimise the impact of breast cancer through excellence in research and education.” You can, however, promote your activity/event or inform members of the public (who ask where the donations will be directed to), by using the following text: “Funds raised will support the work of Breast Cancer Research Centre-WA to improve the outcome and minimise the impact of breast cancer through excellence in research and education.”
We are more than happy to promote on our social media and upcoming newsletters
Can someone present/attend from BCRC-WA?
Professor Arlene Chan AM would love to talk at fundraising events, however this is not possible as she is running a busy clinic and also donates her time to breast cancer research. Our Chief Executive Officer, Fundraising coordinator or other staff may be available. Due to limited resources, BCRC-WA cannot undertake media relations on behalf of the Community Fundraiser. For information on media guidelines, please contact BCRC-WA Fundraising on (08) 9500 5558.
Can I use the logo?
Once the authority letter has been provided, materials and logo will be distrubted for use
