National Breast Cancer Foundation Silver Corporate Sponsorship

In 2007 Cable Beach Club Resort commenced its Silver Corporate Sponsorship with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). To this day the Resort continues to be committed to supporting the enhancement of global knowledge about breast cancer and funding research for a prevention and cure particularly in relation to women living in regional areas.

As an annual event the azure blue waters of Cable Beach Club Resort’s Family Pool as well as the Resorts iconic front entrance turn pink for the month of October, as part of the National Breast Cancer Foundations’ Global Illumination program.Each year a VIP cocktail event complemented by the beautiful backdrop of the famous Cable Beach sunset has launched this special occassion.

"Cable Beach Club is proud to support Estee Lauder’s Global Illumination program by lighting the iconic Family Pool area and Front Entrance pink to help raise awareness for all women world-wide during Breast Cancer Month,” Nicole Tingey, Director of Sales for Cable Beach Club Resort said.

In addition to supporting Global Illumination, Cable Beach Club Resort aims to host a Breakfast For Breast Cancer Research annually in Broome. In 2008 the pink themed event was held at the Resort’s Longhouse by the Family Pool. Guests listened to two very special guest speakers; Professor Christobel Saunders on breast cancer research and breast cancer survivor and NBCF Speakers' Bureau Ambassador Andrea Nixon, who were specially flown to the Resort for the breakfast.

“By becoming a Silver Corporate Sponsor and participating in these wonderful initiatives Cable Beach Club Resort is committed to supporting the enhancement of global knowledge about breast cancer and funding research for a prevention and cure.  The resort is excited that the sponsorship money donated to NBCF in 2008 was provided to support Dr Carl Sprung from Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Victoria.” add Ms Tingey.

Dr Carl Sprung’s project focuses on determining which genes might be involved in predisposing some cancer patients to sever radiotherapy side effects.  Such sensitive cases restrict the use of larger doses that would cure many more cancers. This project could allow individualization of patient treatment by tailoring the best treatment to the patients’ needs.

By participating in the Australia wide effort to fund breast cancer research by hosting these initiatives, Cable Beach Club Resort aims to continue its efforts to raise funds for NBCF. The Resort will also continue to sell NBCF Pink Merchandise in the Resort Shop throughout the year.
