Estée Lauder Companies have been alongside us since we began in 1994 – a relationship of 25 years and counting. They support us with generous donations from sales of Pink Ribbon products during October along with items to use for gifts and fundraising throughout the year.
They’re also behind our most recognisable symbol: the pink ribbon. It all began in 1992, when Evelyn Lauder made a commitment to the fight against breast cancer and launched the first Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign at Estée Lauder counters across the United States.
Quarter of a century later in New Zealand, Estée Lauder supplies us with over 500,000 pink satin ribbons to distribute during our annual Pink Ribbon street appeal.
They’ve been with us every step of the way, and we’re grateful for their ongoing support.

Farmers has been a generous supporter for the past twenty years, first getting involved in our retail appeal in back in 2000.
In 2014 they embraced our October campaign to raise awareness and funds in every Farmers store nationwide. Over the past six years Farmers customers and staff have raised an incredible $1.7 million for breast cancer research and support. This puts them in a very special league, as our only supporter who has contributed over $1 million. These funds have been vital in allowing us to continue our life-saving work.
The majority of funds have been donated by generous Farmers customers, while the rest have come from the sale of Boobeads – keyrings featuring beads the size of breast lumps detectable via mammogram or touch. Individual stores often turn Pink for a Day, with staff dressing in pink, baking pink cupcakes, decorating pink bras and hosting raffles.
Farmers have promoted TLC, our breast check how-to video, through posters in their changing rooms – the perfect place to grab women’s attention. They’ve also given out Know Your Risk flyers, to make women aware of breast cancer risk factors they can control.
We’ve been working together assisting their staff with bra fitting training for post-surgical needs, and we look forward to continuing and growing our partnership with Farmers in years to come.

Proven Winners® New Zealand is proud to support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. For every Petunia Bubblegum sold from October until the end of December, Proven Winners® New Zealand will donate 50c to the Pink Ribbon Appeal. Plant labels will display the pink ribbon logo throughout this period.
Bubblegum petunias are very vigorous, with mounding habits that can reach up to 60cm in height in the garden and will trail over the edges of baskets and containers by up to 1.2m by the end of the summer. They are fantastic landscape plants and are great in large containers, where they function as both fillers and spillers. In garden beds, they will work either in the front or middle of the bed.
Bubblegum petunia varieties deliver an outstanding performance over the entire season, lasting well into late autumn in moderate climates. They are bred to flower earlier, grow taller and wider, and grow more vigorously than other petunias.
