Tradies Support the Ladies turn Tamworth pink

Our story

When Gary and Mat’s wives were both diagnosed with breast cancer, they realised how little they knew about the early signs and symptoms and how important it is to talk about it.

From those conversations, Tradies Support the Ladies was born. What started as a simple idea, getting local tradies to wear pink on Fridays, has grown into a movement across workplaces and communities.

Today, their “Pink Army” brings people together to raise awareness and support people affected by cancer, one pink shirt at a time.

Their Pink Night at the Races in Tamworth is a highlight, a fun, community-led event that brings everyone together. In its second year alone, it raised more than $30,000, contributing to over $65,000 raised across two years, thanks to incredible support from local businesses and the community.

“We hope to build a stronger, kinder community, one pink shirt at a time.”

Our top tips

Start with a simple idea. Pink Shirt Friday began as something small but grew because people could easily get involved.

Make it part of your community. Bring workplaces, local businesses and events together to build momentum.

Keep the conversation going. Fundraising is important, but raising awareness and encouraging regular health checks can make a lasting impact.

We raised $65,000

Dunbar Rovers paint the Reg pink

Our story

When three women close to Emma were diagnosed with cancer within six months, she knew she wanted to do something to help.

She teamed up with her football club, Dunbar Rovers, to host a pink-themed bake sale, barbecue and raffle during a tournament weekend at their home ground, Reg Bartley Oval.

What started as a simple idea quickly turned into a full community effort. Teammates, families, local businesses and even rival teams all got involved, bringing donations, prizes and plenty of pink on the day.

“Paint the Reg pink!”
