Keysborough Cricket Club is just one of the few local clubs that is stepping up to the crease and joining hundreds of families, friends, cricket clubs, businesses and schools by adding a splash of pink to cricket pitches nationally to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation this Pink Stumps Day.
Ambassador and director Tracy Bevan challenges the rest of the community to go pink and is encouraging everyone to participate.
“Pink Stumps Day is a great way to bring the magic of the Pink Test to your home town or suburb while having fun, showing off your cricket skills and raising money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia.”
Pink Stumps Day plays a vital fundraising role to help achieve the foundation’s mission of ensuring every family impacted by breast cancer has access to a dedicated breast care nurse, no matter where they live or their financial situation.
McGrath Foundation President and co-founder Glenn McGrath recognises the contribution Australian communities make through fundraising and awareness raising activities for the McGrath Foundation.
“This is the seventh annual Pink Stumps Day and it continues to be our biggest community fundraising initiative.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of people from right across the country.
“Our 117 McGrath breast care nurses make life for families experiencing breast cancer just that little bit easier.
“They’re at the heart of what we do at the McGrath Foundation”.
Registrations for Pink Stumps Day are now open at www.pinkstumpsday.com.au.
While the official Pink Stumps Day is on Saturday 18 February, participants are welcome to host their event before then or anytime up to April 2017.
