Cancer Council Victoria is encouraging women in Casey City to get the girls together for a Girls’ Night In event to help support local women diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer.
The Girls’ Night In campaign runs throughout the month of October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but events can also be held in November. All funds raised go toward Cancer Council’s work in vital research, prevention and support services for womens cancers.
To get involved, simply register to host an event, invite your girlfriends over for a night in and ask them to donate what they would have spent on a night out.
In Casey City each year, 542 local women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 174 diagnosed with a form of gynaecological cancer (such as cervical, ovarian, vulva and uterine cancers).
“You can make your event as big or as small as you like – a casual dinner party, a dress-up movie night, a pampering session,” acting head of supporter experience at Cancer Council Victoria Emily Wigney said.
“The possibilities are endless and any event you host will help support women affected by breast or gynaecological cancer. “Cancer Council is the only charity in Australia that funds research into breast and gynaecological cancers while also providing support for women affected. We rely on the community to help us continue our work.”
Register to host a Girls’ Night In this October and donate the money you would spend on going out to Cancer Council’s vital work in research, prevention and support for women’s cancers. For more information, visit www.girlsnightin.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85.
