Fun Buns Promote a Serious Cause

Bakers Delight staff rolled up their sleeves to help raise $1.5 million for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) in this year’s Pink Bun campaign.

The annual tradition, now in its eleventh year, saw Bakers Delight bakeries across the country donate 100 per cent from the sale of pink buns to BCNA. The money will support essential breast cancer services, including the My Journey Kit, an information pack provided to people who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

BCNA’s chief executive Christine Nolan said around 16,000 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That’s 43 women diagnosed with breast cancer every day, seven of who will lose their lives to the disease.

“On behalf of all Australians affected by breast cancer, I want to thank Bakers Delight, the franchisees and their staff, and the whole community for their support during the Pink Bun Campaign,” Christine said.

Bakers Delight joint chief executive Lesley Gillespie said more than five million Fun Buns had been baked and sold during the campaign throughout the past 11 years.

“This event is very much part of the Bakers Delight culture and we want to thank all our of customers for giving generously to a fantastic cause each year,” she said.

“Our bakers and their staff are extremely passionate about breast cancer awareness and the BCNA, and many hold community events in their local area to raise extra money for the cause.”
