Endorsed by Cricket Australia, Pink Stumps Day is the McGrath Foundation’s largest community fundraising campaign that brings local cricket clubs, teams, workplaces, schools and home pro’s together.
The campaign offers fundraising for the mission of the Foundation, with the aim to ensure every family affected by breast cancer has access to a McGrath Breast Care Nurse at no cost, regardless of location or financial situation.
McGrath Foundation Co-founder and president, Glenn McGrath says the campaign provides enjoyment for cricketers, whilst helping people affected by breast cancer.
“Hosting a Pink Stumps Day is a great way to get your family and mates together and enjoy Australia’s favourite summer tradition while batting for the McGrath Foundation,” McGrath said.
Over 1,200 people all across Australia held games last season and helped raise just over $1 million.
