Dress Pink Day
Dress Pink to support women with breast cancer!
What is Dress Pink Day?
We select some day in October as Dress Pink Day, people across Hong Kong wear pink to raise awareness and funds to support women with breast cancer in response to our annual breast cancer campaign Pink Revolution in support of its breast cancer care services. Pink is the colour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign that takes place every October to raise awareness of breast cancer.
What can you do on Dress Pink Day?
1. Add a splash of pink to your outfit!
The easiest way to get involved is to wear pink and make a donation to our cause! A pink shirt or a pink pair of socks can all be worn to show how much you care about raising awareness for women with breast cancer.
2. Sponsor a Pink Recovery Pack!
We encourage every Dress Pink Day participant to donate HK$120 or more to support a Pink Recover Pack which will be delivered to breast cancer patient who are undergoing breast cancer treatment.
3. Hold a Pink Party!
Whether it’s a pink lunch or an afternoon tea, you can help promote Dress Pink Day and raise breast cancer awareness for your colleagues or friends.
4. Dress Pink anytime in October!
Please feel free to hold your own Dress Pink Day at any time in October that works best for you. Submit a video or photos* of your corporate or group dressing pink and we will share them on our Dress Pink online platforms to https://goo.gl/z9DaPz and let thousands more people know you care!
