Breathe, sleep and now, dine pink during October
ANY restaurant can register for the Dine Pink event being held during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.
Dine Pink is a Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) national fundraising initiative founded right here in Dubbo by well-known breast cancer awareness advocate, Donna Falconer.
Donna launched Dine Pink in March this year at the BCNA National Summit 2017.
Dine Pink is a way for restaurants to show they care by donating a portion of their takings to breast cancer awareness.
It can be anything from a Pink Lady table, a Pink Lady dish, a drink or a whole night.
Two Doors Wine Lounge, Dubbo’s only dedicated wine bar, will be the first in Dubbo to host a Dine Pink cocktail event, encouraging guests to dress in crazy pink outfits and have some fun supporting BCNA.
“The restaurant sets the conditions on what products or services they offer will go under the Dine Pink fundraising aspect of their event,” Donna said.
“It can be a whole event like the one Two Doors is preparing for, or a dedicated table, decorated in pink, and whoever requests that table can donate a percentage of their meal cost to BCNA.
“It’s all on the BCNA website,” she told Dubbo Photo News.
Two Doors owner Donnamaree O’neill says it’s a great way for a restaurant to be involved in fundraising and awareness.
“It’s a subject close to me and here at Two Doors we encourage conversation, particularly over a wine, so adding the Dine Pink initiative will just be another conversation starter,” she said.
“I encourage other restaurants and cafes to get on board and promote Dine Pink.”
Restaurants wishing to register can visit the BCNA website dinepink.gofundraise.com.au.
You can download promotional posters, and BCNA will promote your event on their website and send a sticker for your front door as well as BCNA thank-you cards for your customers.
You can transfer your pink fundraising any day and ask customers to promote their involvement via social media.
