Correction: An earlier version said the party packs can be sent overseas. They are actually only being sent within Australia.
The official Sydney New Year’s Eve (NYE) 2023 charity partner, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, is encouraging everyone around the world to hold a pink-themed party this NYE with party packs (pictured) being sent out within Australia until Friday for those who register their GLO PINK party, publicise it & raise a minimum AUD$57 in donations.
The party packs include:
- A thank you leaflet which contains some event-theming tips,
- National Breast Cancer Foundation-brand pink-coloured balloons,
- National Breast Cancer Foundation-branded dark-blue-coloured balloons,
- National Breast Cancer Foundation-branded donation box,
- The iconic Pink Ribbons &
- Pink ribbon-themed confetti

When you register your GLO PINK party, you will be asked to set a donation goal. Clearly, a goal of a minimum AUD$57 is required to get the free pink party pack but the higher than that, the better!
Don’t forget to publicise your event & invite your friends to get the free pink party pack too! Donations can be made both online & offline.
Whether you’re an individual or a business hosting an NYE party, a pink party pack is a must as, apart from the iconic Midnight Fireworks over Sydney Harbour, your pink parties would culminate in a Pink Moment on the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 10pm AEST, broadcast globally via the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Down on the Harbour (where you can also hear the Pink Moment‘s audio on ABC Radio Sydney 702 AM), your pink party would be perfectly themed to the event, which this year, whilst having no official theme, seems to have a creative direction of ‘life’.
If you miss out on a party pack, remember the National Breast Cancer Foundation is the official Sydney NYE charity partner again next year so keep an eye out in early December 2024!
You can still register a GLO PINK party & donate up until NYE but after Friday, the party packs will not be sent out. There are other downloadable resources if you miss out on the party packs including a party guide, posters, social media tiles & bunting!
If you do not receive a party pack, the National Breast Cancer Foundation is encouraging party goers & organisers to:
- Raise donations for the National Breast Cancer Foundation &,
- Use or create your own pink decorations (If using balloons, stick the faces of donors who couldn’t attend on them too – with permission, of course!)
And regardless of whether you receive a party pack or not, the National Breast Cancer Foundation is encouraging partygoers & organisers to:
- Have a pink dress code &
- Use pink lighting, particularly at 10pm!

If you are fan of Sydney New Year’s Eve overseas, you can also register a GLO PINK party, donate yourself & raise donations however, be aware that donations will go to Australian breast cancer research projects – not projects in your own country. In the end, the efforts of Australian breast cancer research projects would help eliminate breast cancer anywhere & not just Australia.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Australia with approximately 57 Australians being diagnosed & 9 Australians dying from it every day. Since their formation in 1994, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which receives no government funding, has reduced the death rate in Australia by 40% through putting their raised donations (so far, a cumulative $200 million) to 600 breast cancer research projects. The foundation’s current aim is to eliminate deaths from breast cancer.
To register your GLO PINK Sydney NYE2023 party wherever you are around the world, go to https://nbcf.org.au/nye/. Remember, the pink party packs are available only until Friday the 22nd of December & are sent only within Australia.
…and the National Breast Cancer Foundation is returning as the official Sydney NYE charity partner next year!
