Thank you to Parkes Christian School for their fantastic efforts. They got their local community involved, turned their pitches pink and have so far raised a collective $1901.
Altogether, more than 700 teams around Australia have brought some magic to their cricket event 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 Parkes community means a lot for us at the McGrath Foundation in assisting 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 local communities have packed away their cricket gear for the season, 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!
Petra Buchanan,
CEO, McGrath Foundation
