Leeton's Gino Amato is co-ordinating a group of Leeton shire men to either dye their hair or beards pink in aid of breast cancer fundraising.
The money will be donated to the Leeton Breast Cancer Support Group, which will then be used to help those in the shire with their breast cancer battle.
Mr Amato will be among the group facing the pink dye, which is something he has tried out in the past, also in aid of breast cancer fundraising.

Those joining him will be Mark Pete, Paul Smith, Adam McIntyre, Michael Ierano, Franky Fiumara, Matt Curry, Luke Melidonis, Mick Nardi, Bill Arnold, Ray Gough and Garry Lanham.
The group will have their hair or beards turned pink on Wednesday and residents are being urged to get behind the cause.
"We want to raise around $10,000," Mr Amato said.
"That's our goal. We've got until the end of the month.
"I think it's a pretty brave move by these guys.
"It will certainly make a statement."
Raffles will be part of the fundraising effort and each of those turning pink will take donations from those in the position to do so. Donations will be accepted at Amato Real Estate.
Mr Amato said donations could also be directed to Laney Lashbrook-Gough from the Leeton Breast Cancer Support Group.
The deed of dying their hair and/or beard will take place on Wednesday at the barber shop next door to Amato Real Estate from around 4pm.
