For the second year, the Berry community has got behind the Pink Up Your Town campaign to raise money for the McGrath Foundation, who provide specialist breast cancer nurses across Australia.

Last year, the passionate team raised over $33,000 and despite the fundraising challenges posed by COVID this year, the committee has already managed to raise $10,000.

Committee chair Deb Woolford said the pandemic forced them to change their focus to different ways of fundraising.

"We have street stall on, a lot of raffles happening and we've had wonderful support from the community," she said.

"We sold a lot of face masks and had a lot of people sowing and donating material. I'd love to say we can get up to $20,000 but anything is a bonus."

Lots of businesses in Berry have got behind the campaign by turning their shopfronts pink and raising funds.

Deb said the best way to support Pink Up Berry was to get behind the businesses who are raising money.

"We have several businesses raising money," Ms Woolford said.

"Hedgehog cafe is doing pink Devonshire teas and donating $2, So Lovely is donating 30 per cent of the sale price of all pink items of clothing, Blow Bar on Queen is doing pink Champaign and having a special pink cocktail day and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays the Berry Barnlet outlet store has a pop-up pink section with a selection of local goods.

"Every business that has registered and donated as a certificate in their window, we have collection boxes in a lot of the shops around the town or they can hope online and go to our pink up Berry Facebook page and donate."
