Don't go home after work on Wednesday, October 19 – instead pull on some pink and join the annual 2016 HOT Pink Walk.

Organised by the Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust and House of Travel, this fun event is a chance to walk, celebrate and remember those in our lives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

It also raises funds for Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust, so they can continue to support people in Tauranga who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. With entertainment along the way, and a fun after party at La Mexica on The Strand, Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust service manager Helen Alice says why not make a night of it? 'Bring your friends, bring your family and have some fun. Everyone is welcome.”

Helen says new to this year is the fact people can book their tickets – $10 for adults and a gold coin donation for under 13s – online at: www.breastcancerbop.org.nz/page/hot-pink-walk

'The online bookings are proving very popular.”

Along the walk, which begins at Masonic Park, will be what organisers are calling ‘hot spots'.

'We have entertainment as people are walking the route at each hot spot, including new entertainment options this year and a new main stage act,” says Helen. But she's keeping those new entertainment options a surprise.

Merchandise will also be available for purchase at the merchandise tent, including their new HOT Pink Walk T-shirts.

People are encouraged to book their tickets for the 2016 HOT Pink Walk on October 19 online at: www.breastcancerbop.org.nz/page/hot-pink-walk

The walk begins at Masonic Park on The Strand, from 5.30pm-7pm with an after party at La Mexica.
