Fundraising Activities
Breast Cancer Campaign’s most recent wear it pink day was on Friday 26 October 2012. Supporters were asked to wear any item of pink and donate £2 each to the charity. So far the charity has raised over £23 million for breast cancer research from the wear it pink day since the event was launched in 2002.
Breast Cancer Campaign sponsors a wide range of sporting and non-sporting fundraising events. These range from running marathons to becoming a regional volunteer. All the money raised from Breast Cancer Campaign’s events helps to fund breast cancer research.
On 1 October 2012, buildings across London were lit up pink for the evening to raise awareness of Breast Cancer Campaign and Breast Cancer Action Month. This included Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Tower 42, the BT Tower, HMS Belfast, Nelson's Column, Trafalgar Square, Heron Tower and Somerset House.
In 2011, Number 10 Downing Street was lit up pink by Breast Cancer Campaign to raise awareness of Breast Cancer Action Month.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
