People donned in all shades of pink came and went for charity at the Katikati Community Centre on Friday, May 30, from 8am to 10am.

Inside, community centre staff hosted a pink ribbon breakfast to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.

Sonya Mischewski, Lucy Valley and Sjaan Rounds cooked pancakes and croissants with all the trimmings while fellow centre staff and volunteers waited tables, held an old-fashioned bake sale, sold raffle tickets and manned a donation station.

Katikati News reporter Merle Cave was there to capture some of the fundraising action.
