Thank you to the Quirindi Junior Cricket Association, Blackville Public School and the Warren family for their fantastic efforts. They got their local community involved, turned their pitches pink and have so far raised a collective $2595.

Altogether, more than 700 teams around Australia have brought some magic to their cricket events, going above and beyond to really make a difference. 

Through support like this, we are able to ensure families experiencing breast cancer have access to a breast care nurse, no matter where they live, or their financial situation.

To date, our extensive network of 110 McGrath breast care nurses have helped support more than 44,000 families in Australia through their breast cancer experience, providing invaluable physical, psychological and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.

The support of the Tamworth community means a lot for us at the McGrath Foundation in assisting us with our mission of supporting families experiencing breast cancer, so a huge thank you must go out to everyone who participates in any fundraising events raising funds on our behalf.

Despite the fact that local communities have begun packing away their cricket gear as the summer sports season comes to an end, there’s still the opportunity to don some pink in pride and support the McGrath Foundation this winter sports season.

#PullOnYourSocks, alongside sporting heroes including Lleyton Hewitt, Ellyse Perry, Wendell Sailor, Billy Slater and Jamie Dwyer, to name a few, by purchasing a pair of McGrath Foundation pink sports socks and registering a fundraising event when you visit www.pullonyoursocks.com.au

As we say at the McGrath Foundation, together we can make a difference!
