Collendina Cricket Club is calling on women to dress up in pink and attend its annual Pink Stumps Day to support the McGrath Foundation.
All funds from the day allow the McGrath Foundation to fund breast-care nurses to help improve services to patients within the region.
“As an oncology nurse at the Andrew Love Cancer Centre, I see firsthand the benefits and the invaluable support and care the breast care nurses provide to our patients and families,” event organiser Kate Every said.
“It’s an important day in our cricket calendar and we have great club support from the club’s committee and it’s a real team effort.
“We are grateful to have such a generous community who have sponsored and donated some fantastic prizes. The pink round is an opportunity to involve and educate our whole club including our juniors.
“All our cricket teams playing over the weekend will step out with a touch of pink and proudly support the McGrath foundation.”
Local breast care nurse and breast cancer survivor Michelle Edwards will speak on the day, which costs $40 and includes a glass of champagne on arrival, live music with drinks at bar prices and Duey’s Pink uber is back to provide lifts home for a donation. There are lots of great raffle prizes up for grabs.
“Every year we increase our numbers and the money we raise so join us ladies for a fabulous afternoon,” Ms Every said.
Pink Stumps Day is on Saturday February 25 at Collendina Recreation Reserve from 2pm to 5pm.
