Tonight we are lighting up Pink for the Perth Wildcats Pink Game, supporting Breast Cancer Care WA 🩷 #ASMGlobal #ASMGlobalAPAC #TheLegendsWay #RACArena

Crown hosted some of our most important VIPs – a group of breast cancer survivors - at a high tea at Crown Perth this week.   In partnership with Breast Cancer Care WA and the Perth Wildcats, Crown donated $5 from every high tea sold in the lobby lounge at Crown Perth in the month of October.   This week, our special guests were joined by players and representatives of the Perth Wildcats for a bright, fun-filled afternoon of togetherness and recognition for this remarkable group of survivors. 

Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate based on gender, sexuality, age, disability, ethnicity or race - and neither does BCCWA.   We are committed to offering inclusive and accessible support. From diagnosis, treatment and beyond, our comprehensive breast care nursing and mental health services are available to everyone.   No matter where you live in WA, support is personalised for all individuals and families impacted by breast cancer.

Today, Crown Resorts held their annual high tea in partnership with the Perth Wildcats to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care WA. 🩷 Coach Rillie, Mark Arena, Hyrum Harris and Ben Henshall were in attendance along with 50 breast cancer survivors to kick off Pink Week ahead of our eighth annual Pink Game at RAC Arena on Friday night.

Just because you live in regional or rural WA doesn’t mean you can’t access Breast Cancer Care WA’s services! Our specialist breast cancer nurses and counsellors are available either by phone or online. We also have online-only support groups, workshops and webinars available.   At BCCWA, we are committed to ensuring that West Australians facing breast cancer have equitable access to our support services, especially those outside the metro area.   If you or someone you know have been diagnosed with breast cancer and live in a regional or rural part of WA and would like to find out more, please call the office on 9324 3703 or email triage@breastcancer.org.au   #BreastCancer #Regional #Rural #Support
