Ms. Lamba, 26, decided to use Halloween 2009 as a stage for a Girls Night In party to raise funds for women’s cancer.

A Girls Night In

The Girls Night In parties took place across Australia during September and the official Breast Cancer Awareness month of October; Ms. Lamba held her "Gorgeous Ghosts" night as a fun way to bring together her friends and family for the Australian Cancer Council cause.

She told Suite101 that she was hoping to raise about $200 from her intimate gathering of nine cousins and friends, but “I’m confident we can do more,” she said. At the time of writing she had hit the $300 mark.
