Community spirit will be on full display as the Whakatāne High School Interact Club hosts its annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast next week.

The breakfast will be held at the Baptist Church in Keepa Road, Whakatane on Wednesday, June 25.

Whakatane High School head girl Cassie Bennett, who is also co-organiser of the breakfast and MC for the event, said the aim was to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research and support, while bringing people together for a morning of inspiration, fun, and giving.

“The breakfast begins bright and early, with doors opening at 7am and breakfast served shortly after.

“Those attending can look forward to a delicious meal prepared and cooked by Louise Paulsen, a range of engaging games and activities, as well as the chance to hear from special guest speaker Holly Mees, Year 13 WHS Prefect and Interact Club member. She will share her powerful story as the daughter of a breast cancer survivor.”

Guests are encouraged to bring some extra cash for raffles and auctions with a range of prizes generously donated by local businesses.

All proceeds from the breakfast will go to the Breast Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.

“This breakfast is a great way for the community to come together to support a great cause, whilst enjoying good food at a meaningful community function,” said Cassie.

“Tickets are available now and can be purchased in advance. Don’t miss out on this inspiring event — come for breakfast, stay for the cause, and help make a difference.”
