We were delighted to receive proceeds from the recent Hot Pink High Tea, generously hosted by Jack Dusty’s Ale House. Thank you Jess, Jackie, Penny, Erica and the rest of the team.

The venue was transformed into a vibrant sea of pink, with guests embracing the theme and creating a fun, uplifting atmosphere. From delicious treats, bubbles and tea to raffles, spot prizes, best dressed and a lively auction, there was something for everyone.

We’re thrilled to share that an amazing $4,650 was raised in support of Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust. This will go directly towards helping local people facing breast cancer feel supported when they need it most.

A heartfelt thank you to Jack Dusty's and everyone involved. It was a truly memorable day filled with pink, laughter and community spirit.

💖 Cutting for a Cause – Meet Gaige ✂️

Gaige (9), a Year 4 student at Matahui School, is doing something incredibly special this Friday (May 22) - cutting off three years of hair growth to donate to people experiencing hair loss after treatment.

After seeing his mum and a close family member go through breast cancer last year, this moment has become even more meaningful.

The Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust supported his mum, and now Gaige is giving back in his own quiet, thoughtful way 💗

The big cut will happen at school as part of a student-led fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting local people in the Bay of Plenty going through breast cancer.

💞 Together, we make a difference.
