2016 Australia Vs India Third T20 @ SCG Sunday January 31,2016 - SCG to turn PINK in support of Jane McGrath Foundation

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
