Girls stay in to fight cancer

Tuesday 8 September, 2009

Cancer Council Victoria is urging Victorian women to have a night in with the girls this October and raise funds for women’s cancers as part of Girls Night In.

Now celebrating its 5th year, Girls Night In is a great excuse to get together with the girls while showing your support for local women facing cancer. Simply stay in with your favourite girls and ask them to donate what they’d normally spend on a night out to Cancer Council to join the fight against cancer.

One in three women will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, and more than 4,000 Victorian women are diagnosed with breast and gynaecological cancers each year.

Cancer Council’s Girls Night In initiative raises money specifically for women’s cancers including breast, cervical, ovarian, vaginal and uterine cancers. Last year over 35,000 women joined together at more than 2,800 Girls Night In events to raise $1 million for vital research, information, prevention and support services.

So, whether it’s a DVD marathon, a good old fashioned ‘pj’ party or more of a pampering/indulgent experience, lock in a date now for your Girls Night In this October.
