Paint it pink for the irish cancer society

With 2,781 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in Ireland each year, the Irish Cancer Society is calling on the people of Tipperary to help those living with breast cancer by supporting Paint it Pink Day on Friday, 3rd of October.

Paint it Pink Day offers an enjoyable way for people to support the Irish Cancer Society’s breast cancer services, research and advocacy work.

The campaign is all about doing something big or small to 'paint it pink' on October 3rd by hosting a pink event or doing something pink, then sharing pictures of the activity on social media using the hashtag #PINKPICS, and texting the word Pink 50300 to donate €4 to the Society. Volunteers will also be on streets nationwide selling Paint it Pink ribbons which can be bought and worn throughout the day.
John McCormack, CEO of the Irish Cancer Society said: 'Paint it Pink Day is the big day of the year for supporting the Irish Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer. We are hoping that everyone will get involved and do something to help the hundreds of patients and their families who are affected by breast cancer.'
