CANCER Council Victoria is encouraging women in Greater Shepparton to get the girls together for a ‘Girls’ Night In’ event to help support local women diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer.
In Greater Shepparton City in the three years 2014-2016, 136 local women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 51 diagnosed with a form of gynaecological cancer (such as cervical, ovarian, vulva and uterine cancers).
The Girls’ Night In campaign runs throughout the month of October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but events can also be held in November. All funds raised go toward Cancer Council’s work in vital research, prevention and support services for women’s cancers.
To get involved, simply register to host an event, invite your girlfriends over for a night in and ask them to donate what they would have spent on a night out.
Register to host a Girls’ Night In this October and donate the money you would spend on going out to Cancer Council’s vital work in research, prevention and support for women’s cancers.
