Wags for Support - Sunday 15 June 2025
Thursday Girls and Woofers Dog Lounge are putting the fun back into fundraisers in 2025!
Thursday Girls Group is a Victorian based Not-for-Profit delivering free, weekly therapeutic group counselling to women with an incurable form of Breast Cancer known as Metastatic Breast Cancer. Each Thursday, we have women from around Victoria meeting in two sessions to share their thoughts, worries, ideas and experiences under the guidance of an experienced group counsellor. This is an evidence-led program which has been proven to enhance quality of life and longevity in people with this diagnosis.
Our fundraiser has three goals:
- Raise awareness of Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Raise funds to continue to deliver our free service to women with Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Create a fun, positive community environment for our dogs, who themselves act as a form of therapy for their humans
Your doggy ticket will include:
- 2 hours access to Woofers Dog Lounge, a fun environment where your dog can frolick with their furry friends
- a series of mini training sessions to skill you up in how to get the best out of your dog
- a number of parades where your dog - could compete for some great prizes (think best dressed or biggest smile...expect the unexpected)
their very own bandanna
popcorn
treats and surprises
facepainting (just kidding)
- upgrade to get a mini photo session with a professional photographer and receive your own instagrammable image
See Terms and Conditions for more information.
We are so grateful to Woofers Dog Lounge who are donating their beautiful all-weather facility and their volunteer staff, along with our Thursday Girl Volunteers.
Please note that due to capacity, we can only accomodate a maximum of 2 Humans per Dog. Also consider that for small children, they may find it overwhelming to be in an environment with so many unfamiliar dogs, so choose your Humans carefully!

Cash for Containers
Do you collect and recycle containers for the Container Deposit Scheme?
Or have you just been thinking about it?
Here’s one good reason to start! Thursday Girls is now an approved Donation Partner within the scheme. This means when you return your containers, you can select Thursday Girls as a recipient.
Every little bit helps for Thursday Girls, as we don’t receive any government funding to cover our operational costs. We are reliant on philanthropic organisations, support from our amazing partners, and generous individuals who give us regular or one-off donations.
Currently, we are registered with the North and the West CDS regions - stay tuned for an update on the East. In the meantime, you could join another region and drop off outside your normal zone for next-level support!
Here's how to start:
Download the App for your region and register as a user
In the App, set your payment type as Donation and select Thursday Girls
When you go to a refund point, be sure to scan your barcode when prompted. Don't follow the instructions to donate on the Reverse Vending Machines, as this is not connected to your account, and your donation may get allocated elsewhere.
Celebrate! Feel free to tag us on Facebook or Instagram if you want to share the love.
Please share with all your friends and encourage them to choose Thursday Girls.
It will give you a good feeling and help us continue with our work.
The link to the scheme can be found below. It’s as simple as downloading the appropriate CDS App for your area and setting up your payment type to Donation before you begin.
All donations are tax-deductible!
Our appreciation goes out to all of our supporters for all of the years of connection and community at Thursday Girls. This is made possible by the many people who have donated as well as those who have volunteered their time and efforts.
Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the continuous and generous support!
