Events &
Fundraising

Our events are more than fundraisers. They’re moments that connect us, spark conversations, and raise the vital funds that keep our work moving forward.

From national campaigns to grassroots initiatives, every event is designed to bring people together, raise awareness, and stand with young women facing breast cancer.

Key Events & Campaigns.

National Young Breast Cancer Awareness Day – 1 September
A day dedicated to raising visibility and sharing the reality of breast cancer in young women. Across the country, individuals, workplaces, and communities come together to spread awareness and show support.

So Brave Gala
Our flagship annual fundraiser an unforgettable evening of connection and storytelling with every dollar raised going directly to our work.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month – October
Each October, we run a calendar of activities that spark conversation and visibility for young women with breast cancer. Through education programs, national media, and advocacy campaigns, we challenge misconceptions and call for real change in how young women are seen and supported.

Boogie for Your Boobies fitness event – February
In honour of Renee Kinman – ensuring health and fitness to reduce the risk of breast cancer and its recurrence, in February we raise awareness and funds for So Brave by shaking our booties through dance and fitness with our friends across allied health.

Community Fundraising.

You don’t have to wait for a national event to make a difference. Some of the most powerful fundraisers begin with a simple idea a morning tea with friends, a workplace challenge, or asking for donations instead of gifts for a birthday.

At So Brave, we’ve seen firsthand how creativity and community can turn into real impact. Your fundraiser helps us support young women with breast cancer through education, advocacy, and connection.

And you won’t be doing it alone, we’ll be right beside you with guides, tools, and support to make it all possible.

Stories From Our Fundraisers.

We support So Brave because of the beautiful community of young women brought together through a diagnosis of breast cancer and we raise money for So Brave because they have personally helped us through some of the worst and hardest times of our lives during my wife’s stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis whilst pregnant.

I fully support So Brave’s mission of empowering young women diagnosed with breast cancer, raising awareness for early detection, helping raise funds for research, and getting involved with community connection and support in my area, plus on online through Instagram and facebook.

Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 28 was terrifying! I didn’t ever think it would happen to me, not at that age. My initial appointment with my surgeon was the first time I heard of So Brave - I saw the amazing photographs of the women with body paint on the walls and was given a So Brave door hanger. When I got home, I looked them up and was so happy to see a charity dedicated to research, empowerment, early detection and much more for young women and breast cancer - it was from this moment on that I knew I wanted to support So Brave through fundraising and continue to spread the word of their amazing work and efforts.
