Donations in-memory or in-celebration
Many people ask friends to give a gift to Breast Cancer Network Australia instead of sending flowers for a funeral or instead of gifts when celebrating a birthday or a special occasion. These donations are greatly appreciated and will help BCNA provide programs, resources and support to women and families with breast cancer.
Making an in-memory donation
If you wish to make a one-off in-memory donation, you can:
- make a secure in-memory donation online
- phone 1800 500 258 during office hours with your credit card details handy.
Organising a collection at a funeral
This is a difficult time for all families who have lost a loved one, we can take care of organising a collection for you.
If you are arranging a funeral, you can ask the Funeral Director to provide you with Breast Cancer Network Australia in-memory donation envelopes. If they are unable to help, call 1800 500 258 during office hours or email beacon@bcna.org.au. Envelopes will be delivered within 3 working days.
All gifts are acknowledged and receipted to the donor and a list of donors' names and addresses will be provided to the family.
To return the collected donations either:
- deliver them in person to our office at 293 Camberwell Rd, Camberwell, VIC
- collect all cash donations and write a cheque to BCNA. Mail this with all donor forms and cheques to:
BCNA, 293 Camberwell Rd, Camberwell VIC 3124
Requesting donations to BCNA instead of flowers
If you would like people to make a donation to Breast Cancer Network Australia instead of sending flowers we suggest you make an announcement in the death notice. For example: 'Donations in lieu of flowers to Breast Cancer Network Australia would be appreciated.'
Donations in-celebration
You can also:
- contact BCNA to design a form for you to include with your party invitations to send to your guests
- your guests can then complete the form and send to BCNA along with their donation
- BCNA tallies all donations and advises you of the total donations received (for privacy reasons we do not disclose individual donations amounts)
- tax-deductible receipts are issued directly to the donor (for all donations over $2)
For more information please contact us on 1800 500 258.
