A sweet way to support breast cancer campaign

By Brendan Rees

Bakers Delight at Casey Central Shopping Centre is calling on the community to ‘give breast cancer the finger bun.’

The store, which has been decked out in pink, is raising money for people diagnosed with breast cancer through its annual Pink Buns campaign which runs until May 23 with 100 per cent Pink Bun sales going to the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA).

Store manager Melanie Plunkett called on the community to get behind the campaign.

“Last we raised over $4,000 for the BCNA and this year we are hoping to raise much more,” she said.

“This means so much to us and many people in the community as at some stage in our lives breast cancer will touch one of us.”

A special Pink Bun carry bag for $5 can also be purchased with 100 per cent of the sale going to BCNA, or people may leave a message of support on a Pink Lady silhouette, or donate their spare change in the tins on the counter.
