Look good. Do good.
Tracy Scott has been organising wear it pink events at work for five years. She whips everyone into a pink frenzy and has raised more than £5,000 for research. So how does she do it?
Q: First, what’s your motivation for getting involved?
A: I’m a breast cancer survivor of eight years now – and when I was being treated, I chose to be part of a medical trial to see if a mix of chemo treatments could lead to a better treatment plan. So I am passionate about research.
Q: So what’s the secret of running a wear it pink event?
A: From the cleaner to the boss, get everyone involved and doing something. Ask them for their suggestions. Form a team to help you put it on. And don’t forget to have fun!
Q: What’s the best way to motivate people?
A: Communication. Chat to people at least a month in advance and let them know what’s happening. Face time is best but if it’s a larger company keep sending emails.
Q: What fundraising ideas work best for you?
A: Everyone brings in cakes and sells them. It’s a good way to get the men involved too because they can make something at home with their kids. We always have a bottle stall too: smellies, perfume, pink fizz, you name it. Then we raffle them off for ￡3 a ticket. Easy.
Q: What are you doing this year?
A: I love the fashion theme and I think it’s definitely time to glam it up for the guys and girls! I would encourage everyone to join the pink army of people looking for a cure.
