“Inspired by the power of play and community, together, we can create a meaningful difference.”
– Brea Brand, CEO and Co-founder of CONNETIX

Everyday Moments Matter When Battling a Disease
Every minute, four women are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide and one woman dies from the disease.
In Australia alone, 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
Within our CONNETIX team, almost 90% of staff have been personally affected by the disease, and 1 in 5 have had an immediate family member diagnosed.
Australian Breast Cancer Research (ABCR) is fighting relentlessly for treatments and cures for breast cancer that will benefit people across the globe. A beacon of hope for so many families, ABCR is dedicated to investing in global groundbreaking medical research to reduce the impact, and find better prevention, detection, management and treatment of the disease.
With every donation received and support from the community, ABCR can continue to invest in life-changing medical research that’s having a global impact on saving lives from breast cancer.
From improving the diagnosis for triple negative breast cancer to educating women about breast density and its implications for identifying breast cancer, ABCR are pioneering a range of exciting projects that are showing promising developments.
Find out more about what your contribution means in supporting the latest research projects.
Briony Marshall, COO & CISO at The Hospital Research Foundation Group, shares:
Research is critical to improving and saving lives and our partnership with CONNETIX is a simple way for families to make a real difference while having fun. 20% of proceeds from the Pink Pack will go directly to fund life changing breast cancer research. That means that every time a family plays, they’re not just enjoying the creativity and fun of CONNETIX, they’re also supporting researchers working to prevent and treat breast cancer.”
Pink Charity Pack
Unleash creativity and inspire bold, empowered designs with 20 all-PINK magnetic tiles.
Bringing together a great selection of shapes, this limited-edition pack is the ultimate gift to share the magic of open-ended play and give something truly special to loved ones – a symbol of hope, support, and solidarity in building a future free of breast cancer.
Entirely compatible with existing collections, combine this pack to add a fun pop of colour and creativity to your builds.
Our Personal Link to Finding a Cure
Finding a cure for breast cancer is a cause that is close to the hearts of all of us at CONNETIX. Some of our team members have courageously shared their personal stories and what finding a cure would mean to them.
It is never easy to get that diagnosis of having breast cancer at the young age of 45, but staying positive and willing to fight and beat it made a difference for me! Things that seemed like a big deal before in perspective really aren’t all that bad after fighting for my life with a very fast growing and aggressive breast cancer. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff! I was diagnosed officially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2020. I went in for my annual appointment at the end of September and my doctor found one lump and after ultrasounds they found 4 more. This can be found in men and women so be sure to do your checks regularly! April 20th 2026, I will be celebrating my 5 years of being cancer free”

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago. It came as a surprise to all of us as we have never had any family history with the disease but she was lucky and caught it early, getting straight to the doctors once she felt the lump and beginning treatment shortly after. She has been cancer free since the completion of her treatment, and we went on a family holiday to cherish some much-needed time together as a family and to celebrate the end of her treatment. I think the thing that sometimes goes unnoticed about cancer is that once you have been diagnosed, it is a lifelong disease. There is always a constant fear that it will come back and if it does, the chances of survival decrease. My mum has always been fit and healthy – exercising, going to the gym and eating really well, but since her diagnosis she has really stepped this up and makes sure she does everything she can to limit the cancer coming back. She is constantly looking to the latest research to learn about how she can maintain her health and what she can be doing better to limit the chances of it returning, it is a cloud that lives over us all and that is why the ongoing research into stopping, treating and curing this disease is so important.”

Breast cancer has affected multiple women in my family, including my beautiful mum who recently underwent radiation treatment for early-stage breast cancer. While she was incredibly lucky to catch it early, it still came as a deep shock to our family. With two daughters and a family history of Breast Cancer, we were so grateful she was offered genetic testing which thankfully came back as low risk. That’s why supporting research into better treatments and finding a cure is incredibly important to me – for my mum, my family, my daughter’s future, and for women all around the world.”
