Fancy a night in with your favourite girlfriends AND support a great cause?

Join the 200,000 Australian women attending a Girls Night In this October and turn a get together with the girls into a powerful fundraiser for Cancer Council to support women facing cancer.

Girls Night In is a great excuse to spend time with girlfriends while raising key funds for the fight against women’s cancers. Simply invite the girls over for a fun night in and ask them to donate what they usually spend on a night out.

Cancer Council spokesperson Deborah Stringer said Girls Night In is all about getting the girls together now, to keep the girls together later. “It’s about sharing knowledge, information, and supporting each other, all the things women do best, while helping Cancer Council fund research, prevention and support programs for women’s cancers,” Ms Stringer said.

Girls Night In raises money specifically for women’s cancers including breast, cervical, ovarian, vaginal and uterine cancers. More than 16,000 Australian women are diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancers each year.

Last year, over 11,000 Girls Night In events were held with more than 150,000 Australian women joining together to raise $4.4 million to fund new innovations in women’s cancer research, prevention and support services. These breakthroughs aim to overturn the confronting statistic that 1 in 3 Australian
women will be diagnosed with cancer before age 85.

This year Cancer Council is aiming to raise over $6 million to help beat women’s cancers. So whether it’s a DVD marathon, a good old-fashioned PJ party or an indulgent pampering experience, set a date now in October for your Girls Night In.
