Mother's Day Classic 2011

On Sunday 8 May, a record 120 000 Australians stepped out in support of breast cancer research in the annual Women in Super Mother's Day Classic. This is the highest number of participants in the event's 14 year history. Events were held in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Parramatta and Sydney's Domain and 27 regional locations.

Since becoming the proud major sponsor of the event in 2005, a number of ME Bank staff, their families and friends continue to support the event by participating, volunteering of fundraising at their local events.

In addition, ME Bank launched its new EveryDay Transaction Account with limited edition PINK Debit MasterCard in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation's research projects with a national promotion. On behalf of participants who registered their interest in the product, ME Bank raised an additional $50,000 towards the Women in Super Mother's Day Classic's fundraising total.

As testament to ME Bank's ongoing commitment to breast cancer research, for every purchase made using the PINK Debit MasterCard, ME Bank is donating 1 cent to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
