Thinking pink

Up to 40 irrigation company shareholders, staff partners and people involved in its ongoing expansion programme attended a ticketed Pink Ribbon Breakfast yesterday morning.

The funds raised went to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and the Maheno Home and School Foundation, which did the catering for the event.

The foundation has requested New Zealanders to use the month of May to host Pink Ribbon-themed events to help raise funds.

The Pink Ribbon campaign this month is also designed to raise awareness of the disease, encourage early detection, and motivate women to have regular mammograms.

Last year, the breast cancer foundation spent more than $1.2million on research.
