An army of pink will be hitting the streets next week, and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is in urgent need of more troops to help out.

The foundation is in search of coordinators in Bethlehem, Brookfield, Greerton and Otumoetai to help manage volunteers and coordinate people for the annual Pink Ribbon appeal on Friday October 12 and Saturday October 13.

As the area coordinator you will manage a small team of volunteers, receive and distribute stock to volunteers, oversee the appeal sites in Bethlehem, Brookfield, Greerton or Otumoetai on the appeal days, and bank the donated funds.

Plus, everything needed for job will be provided, including a detailed brief beforehand.

During the appeal, volunteers across New Zealand will raise money at more than 1000 collection points.

Their efforts will fund research into new treatments, support for women going through breast cancer, and life-saving awareness and education programmes.

"The Pink Ribbon Appeal funds a large chunk of our work, so there's a direct link between the time people give on the street and our ability to fund research, support and education programmes,” says Evangelia Henderson, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

"If you can help, please get in touch with us now.”

If you're happy to be a coordinator or are simply keen to volunteer, please contact: volunteer@bcf.org.nz or call 0508 105 105.
