ABOUT BOSOM BUDDIES

Bosom Buddies is an independent grassroots charity and the only organisation in the Canberra region dedicated solely to providing personalised, on-the-ground support for people affected by breast cancer.

Founded in 1995 by Shirley Fitzgerald, the organisation began as a small buddy group created to support a friend preparing for breast cancer treatment. Recognising that not everyone has a strong support network, Bosom Buddies was formally established to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone.

Today, Bosom Buddies is a volunteer-driven community, largely made up of people who have personally experienced breast cancer. United by compassion and lived experience, the charity continues its mission to support individuals and families across Canberra and surrounding New South Wales. All funds raised remain local, helping to provide free, ongoing support services to those affected by breast cancer in the community.

SESSION INFORMATION

Kicking off at 6:30pm, this life drawing session will have multiple models posing for 2-25 minutes across the evening, with breaks for drinks, food, and sharing. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute a piece of art created throughout event to be sold by The Tipsy Sketching Club (either on the evening or online), with 100% of proceeds from art sales being donated to Bosom Buddies.
