Hat Hat Hooray - Bosom Buddies

The Hat, Hat, Hooray! Competition will help Bosom Buddies raise funds for their work with breast cancer sufferers and survivors in the ACT Region.  Get involved, make a hat and enter it in one of three categories:

         Happy / humorous/whimsical    OR    Sporty / smart casual    OR    Fashion

The hat can be a beret, beanie, cloche, or any interesting head covering, crocheted, knitted, felted, sewn or woven - but must be comfortable to wear (in consideration of those who  have lost their hair), for summer or winter wear, and any colour, but must have a Bosom Buddies cyclamen-pink patch at least 2cm x 2cm either inside or outside of the work.  There is a fee of $5 for each entry, and you can submit up to three items in any category, but you need to fill out a separate entry form for each one.  Entries close on 11 October 2010.

How to enter

Download the entry form and terms and conditions, let us know how many entries you will be submitting by emailing or phoning our office by 30 September 2010, then post or deliver your creation to Bosom Buddies’ office by 11 October 2010 with the following: a completed entry form for each entry, payment of $5 for each entry, and an identification swing tag attached to your creation with strong yarn with your name, phone number, title of work, fibre used and category.

If you want to keep your creation: If you want to keep your work rather than donate it, you will be able to pick up your work from the Bosom Buddies office after 25 October 2010. Any item left after 15 November will be used for fundraising or given to HeadsUp at Calvary Hospital.

Membership

We have active social programs for our members - because fun is an important part of immediate and long term treatment.

Our successful advocates are active representatives to many organisations focused on breast cancer research, treatment and support in the ACT region.

A team of our members delivers an active Breast Awareness program for schools and organisations.

Other members make useful items to be given to breast cancer patients right after surgery.
