SCG to turn PINK in support of Jane McGrath Foundation
The Sydney
Cricket Ground will be turned bright pink during the T20 match between
Australia and India on Sunday January 31,2016 to support the Jane McGrath Foundation.
The
fundraising event will go to help the McGrath Foundation meet their
fundraising shortfall after rain washed out a large part of the annual
Sydney Pink Test in January.
The
foundation's goal of $380,000 for the Test was to go towards funding
one McGrath Breast Care Nurse for three years – but unfortunately due to
rain, fundraising fell short of the target.
'We're
encouraging fans to dress up and wear pink as they would have on day
three of the Test and grab a hot pink wrist band at the ground for a
gold coin donation,' said McGrath Foundation Ambassador & Director
Tracy Bevan.
The
'Pink Test' fundraising efforts of the McGrath Foundation, chaired by
former test paceman Glenn McGrath, traditionally takes precedence on day
three of the Sydney test.
Cricket
fans are encouraged to wear pink clothing and the Ladies Stand at the
SCG's is usually draped in pink bunting to celebrate the charity's work
in raising awareness of breast cancer and nursing support services
