The First Street office front was decorated with bright pink for the occasion.
And the real estate office staff switched up their usual red attire for the international symbol of breast cancer awareness, pink.
One of the event organisers Helena Henderson said supporting breast cancer was important to each of the staff members.
“We are all of varying ages and we all know someone with breast cancer or other cancers,” she said.
“In some way or other each one of us has been impacted. Supporting the cause is something we all really believe in.”
Starting early to beat as much of the heat as possible the team sold scones, watermelon, coffee and a hearty Aussie breakfast, with all proceeds going to the cause.
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia – but with research the outcomes are changing for the positive.
The breakfast will help beat women's cancers through raising vital funds for prevention programs, support services and cancer research.
