Breast Cancer Foundation NZ
Our partners
The generosity of our commercial partners helps us push for new frontiers in early detection, treatment and support.
We’re grateful to have strong relationships with caring companies that proudly ‘walk the talk’ of corporate social responsibility. They also help us by promoting our messages to customers, suppliers and staff in their own advertising and public relations.
We welcome ideas and approaches from prospective partners who wish to associate their brands with the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. Together, we can make a difference.

Estée Lauder Companies have been alongside us since we began in 1994 – a relationship of 23 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 and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ have developed a close and rewarding relationship. We work together to share important messages about breast cancer education and awareness in our community.
Each year, Farmers embrace BCFNZ’s October campaign by running an awareness and fundraising push in every Farmers store nationwide and via social media, with hundreds of thousands of dollars raised so far.
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.
Farmers look forward to continuing and growing their support 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.
