Lighting the Sky Tower

Sky Tower is a beacon for what's happening in the Auckland community. At special times throughout the year SKYCITY lights the tower to recognise long-term community partnerships and events.

For the 9th year, SKYCITY is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month by lighting Sky Tower pink.

Universally October is associated with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Sky Tower is the first landmark globally to be illuminated pink and raise awareness of breast cancer.  The Pink Ribbon Day Street Appeal is the Breast Cancer Foundation's major national fundraising campaign and will be held on Friday 10th october with more than 6,000 volunteers out on the streets collecting donations in return for pink ribbons.

During October a range of community events will be taking place throughout New Zealand and you can check out the calendar on www.nzbcf.org.nz
