More than 100 people gathered this morning to support breast cancer awareness at a Pink Ribbon Breakfast at Ōrākei Bay this morning, raising over $6,000 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

The event was co-hosted by Tāmaki MP Brooke van Velden and Epsom MP David Seymour with proceeds supporting research, education, and patient care across New Zealand.

“This is a cause that touches thousands of Kiwi families every year,” said van Velden.

“It’s great to see so many people from our community come together to support such an important cause.”

“Every dollar raised helps fund better outcomes for people facing breast cancer. We’re grateful to everyone who came along and contributed,” said Seymour.

“A huge thank you to our guest speaker Jude Dobson, Breast Cancer Foundation NZ ambassador, for joining us and sharing her perspective. We’re also incredibly grateful to the Foundation’s experts who gave up their time to answer questions and engage with attendees. Their presence made the event truly meaningful.”

The breakfast was made possible thanks to the generosity of local businesses. Collective Hospitality provided the stunning Ōrākei Bay venue free of charge, ensuring that all proceeds could go directly to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Function Staff, Insphire, and The Revelry also generously donated their services.

Breast Cancer Foundation NZ relies on the support of community events like this one to fund life-saving initiatives. Donations can still be made at https://fundraise.bcf.org.nz/fundraisers/DavidSeymourBrookevanVeldensPinkRibbonBreakkfast
