Pink Pilbara Breakfast

PROGRAM

Pink Pilbara Breakfast

The Pilbara Turns Pink on Friday 18 September 2026.

The Hedland Well Women’s Centre Pink Pilbara Breakfast returns on Friday 18 September 2026 at Milpaku Kuma – Port Hedland Community Centre.

Since 1999, Hedland Well Women’s Centre has hosted an annual community fundraising event in support of cancer. What began as a fundraising event has grown into one of the Pilbara’s most anticipated community gatherings, uniting hundreds of people behind a shared commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of local women and families.

In 2025, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the Pink Pilbara Breakfast raised an outstanding $164,000, helping to fund services that support women at every stage of their cancer journey.

In response to increasing community need, the Hedland Well Women’s Centre established its in-house Cancer Support Service in 2020, ensuring local women can access support, guidance and care close to home when they need it most.

Funds raised through the 2026 Pink Pilbara Breakfast will continue to support two essential areas:

  • Primary healthcare – Ongoing delivery of HWWC’s clinical and health promotion programs including lifesaving screenings, education, and upskilling programs aimed at preventing women’s cancers.
  • Secondary healthcare – Continued access to HWWC’s clinical Cancer Support Services for local women diagnosed with or connected to cancer.
As demand for these services continues to grow, your support has never been more important.

Whether you attend, sponsor, donate, purchase tickets or contribute an auction item, every dollar raised stays local and helps ensure women in our region can access the care and support they deserve.

The success of the Pink Pilbara Breakfast is only possible because of the generosity, kindness and commitment of our community. Donation and auction item opportunities are now open, and we’d love to hear from individuals, businesses and organisations who would like to get involved.

We can’t wait to welcome our community back for another unforgettable morning, hosted by the inspiring Marie-Anne Keeffe.

Tickets go on sale 10 August at 9:00am.

Join us as the Pilbara turns pink once again and help make a lasting difference for local women and families.

We invite all local businesses and organisations to join us in making a difference to the lives of women impacted by cancer, by donating items towards our Pink Pilbara Breakfast live and silent auctions!

All money raised supports Hedland Well Women’s Centre to continue offering…

  • Lifesaving cancer screening
  • Cancer prevention education
  • Peer Support group
  • Cancer Support service
  • Cancer Rehabilitation Physiotherapy

To make a donation, call us on 9140 1124 or email ppb@wellwomens.com.au

While Milpaku Kuma – Port Hedland Community Centre is a large outdoor venue, event capacity is determined by more than the size of the building.

As a community fundraiser run by a local not-for-profit organisation, we also need to consider catering, seating, staffing, volunteers, equipment, safety requirements, fundraising activities, budget constraints and overall event logistics.

We are currently assessing whether we can accommodate additional guests while maintaining the quality and experience that attendees have come to expect.

Yes. If you can no longer attend, please contact the Hedland Well Women’s Centre team via email ppb@wellwomens.com.au. All ticket transfers must be managed by Hedland Well Women’s Centre to ensure attendee information remains accurate and tickets are valid.

Please do not purchase tickets from third parties or unofficial sellers. We cannot guarantee the validity of tickets obtained outside the official Humanitix ticketing platform or transferred through Hedland Well Women’s Centre.

Pink Pilbara Breakfast is primarily an adult community and corporate fundraising event covering sensitive matters and content.

Children under 2 years of age may attend free of charge when accompanied by a ticket-holding parent or guardian. As they do not require a ticket, they will not be allocated a seat and must remain in a pram, baby carrier or on their parent/guardian’s lap throughout the event.

Children aged 2 years and over require their own ticket.

Yes. Parents and carers are welcome to bring a pram or baby carrier for children under 2 years of age.

We do ask that attendees keep in mind this is a large fundraising event featuring guest speakers, entertainment and auction activities throughout the morning.

Pink Pilbara Breakfast is all about Turning the Pilbara Pink, so we encourage attendees to embrace the theme and wear pink with pride.

Whether you prefer a splash of pink or a full themed outfit, we’d love to see your creativity shine. We also award prizes for both Best Dressed Individual and Best Dressed Squad.
