The idea has spread since 2016 when Mudgee was the first town in Australia to ‘Pink Up’ with businesses and homes wrapped in pink to raise funds.
Dubbo will support the fundraising this year along with Griffith, Albury, Port Stephens, Newcastle and Sydney suburbs Annandale and Newtown. Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos have been invited to join in.
Pink Up’s Hugh Bateman said: “Last year, Pink Up Mudgee became quite a point of intrigue, to the extent that it gained national recognition.
“It’s been picked up by other places … It’s extremely gratifying to the extent that people want to be involved.
“The McGrath Foundation is using Mudgee as an example right around the state and in other communities to show how it can be done. The Foundation is involved with breast care nurses, 117 of them Australia-wide, that’s what they’re about, actually putting people on the ground”.
