Dame Susan Devoy is the special guest at the event.
A Pink Ribbon breakfast will be held at the Pāuanui Club on May 24 to raise funds to go towards education, research and patient support for breast cancer, which is the most common cancer for Aotearoa women and affects more than 3300 Kiwis a year.
This year’s guest speaker is
Dame Susan Devoy, former squash champion, Race Relations Commissioner and latterly, a contestant on Celebrity Treasure Island.
The Coromandel Peninsula event, one of many around the country that supports the work of the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, has been organised by Pāuanui retailers Mandy Alexander and Paula Leen, who run the popular store Hello Friday.
Both are active in their community and are excited to host an online auction in support of the Pāuanui Club’s breakfast function.
Alexander said she is hoping to raise in excess of the $14,000 garnered at last year’s event.
