Get Tickled Pink for Breast Cancer Research

I’m always happy to promote a good cause, and breast cancer research is one of the best. If you’ve got some spare time on Wednesday, make sure you get on down to Concert for the Cure‘s Tickled Pink show at Sydney University’s St Andrew’s College.

The bands kindly donating their time include Art Vs Science, Bagraiders, Bird Automatic, Underlights, and Cameras.

All profits from tickets will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Breast Cancer Network Australia. Get out there and support it if you can!

Breast Cancer Charity CD is All Woman

Warner Music Australia will think pink in April, releasing a compilation album to support breast cancer research. All Woman will hit shelves on Friday April 17 in partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

It’s a double-CD packed with girl power anthems from our own Delta Goodrem, Jenny Morris, Natalie Bassingthwaite, Katie Noonan, Tina Arena, Gabriella Cilmi, Olivia Newton-John, and Marcia Hines. Their tracks sit comfortably alongside international feminist icons including Tori Amos, Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, and k.d. lang.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with the National Breast Cancer Foundation this Mother’s Day, with the launch of All Woman, a fabulous compilation featuring the very best female artists from around the world. More than 13,600 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year in Australia. We hope that by partnering with the NBCF we can raise more money to help fund essential research.” Sarah Rouhan, Vice President Commercial Marketing at Warner said today.

$1 from every CD will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Warner Music Australia has pledged at least $25, 000 to the cause, regardless of how many CDs are sold. Let’s help them top that! This sounds like a fantastic mother’s day gift, or a present for yourself!

Kylie Designs Filofax for Breast Cancer Charity Auction

Kylie Minogue has put her support behind a celebrity auction raising money for breast cancer research.

Kylie joins Lily Allen, ER actress Alex Kingston, television presenter Holly Willoughby and a host of other British celebs donating customized pink Filofaxes. Each Filofax has been individually designed by the stars, and many even come with a personalised photo and message from the celebrity.

Bidding for the Filofaxes will start at £50 on buyoncegivetwice.co.uk. The auctions will close on April 13.

Kylie was successfully treated for breast cancer in 2006, but it’s clearly a cause that is still close to her heart.
