Get the Girls ‘Round

Have your girlfriends over for a fun evening in and donate the money you’d spend on an evening out to Action Breast Cancer.

Throw your own fundraising party

Action Breast Cancer strives to make a significant and meaningful difference to the lives of people in Ireland affected by breast cancer. Each year, we reach over 30,000 women with breast health concerns.

You can help us continue our work by throwing a fundraising party and join in our Get the Girls 'Round campaign, which is kindly supported by Centra. To get started, register for a Get the Girls ‘Round night. 

You can then use the Get the Girls ‘Round site for tips to help you plan your event and maximise your fundraising.

A few party ideas include:

• X-Factor party
• Movie night
• Pampering night
• A bake-in
• Swap night
• Potluck dinner
• Wii night

Once you've registered, we'll send you a party pack, containing posters, balloon, a door hanger and vouchers that you can use on the night of the event. Our friends from Centra are kindly supporting Get the Girls 'Round so you'll have plenty of money off coupons for thier stores to help you get started.

If you have any questions or need help registering, contact our fundraising team on 1850 60 60 60 or at fundraising@irishcancer.ie.
