Cambridge Pink Week was set up in 2014 by Nina Rauch in memory of her mother Dina Rabinovitch to raise money and awareness for charities that support breast cancer patients and fund research to find cures and treatments for this disease.

Since then, Cambridge Pink Week has raised over £100,000 for charities around the UK and is one of the university’s biggest student societies, having a dedicated ‘Pink Week’ that runs during the first week in February each year. We aim to spread potentially life-saving knowledge among young people to instils crucial check-yourself habits from as young as possible, while making it clear that this disease is indiscriminate, affecting all ages, genders and races.

In the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the charitable sector has been decimated and methods of fundraising hampered. The need for their vital work has, however, increased, with an expected surplus of cancer diagnoses that went unchecked during the national lockdown.

We are constantly adapting to the new circumstances with innovative and covid-safe plans and ideas to continue spreading our message and raising money for the amazing work of our charities. This year we are proud to be supporting Breast Cancer Now, Breast Cancer UK, Coppafeel!, Black Women Rising, the Breast Cancer Haven and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
