Pink Stumps is back

A favourite day on the Kin Kin calendar, Pink Stumps Day is back, with the fun annual McGrath Foundation fundraiser returning on Sunday 4 June.

The Block TV show 2020 winners Jimmy and Tam, now local hinterland residents, will be at this year’s match. Jimmy will be taking to the field as part of the Kin Kin team.

Dress up in your finest pink outfit and join the large crowd of spectators cheering on their team. Players will be wearing a pink tutu and are already honing their batting and bowling skills in preparation for the big day.

This is serious business and the Kin Kin community is super excited to show off its superb cricket skills when they take on Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, councillors, and council staff.

Sadly, many of us know of someone whose mother, daughter, sister, or partner has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The McGrath Foundation’s aim is to provide specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses to support individuals (and their families) experiencing breast cancer by providing physical, psychological, and emotional support.

From the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment, this service is available for free, so come along and enjoy the magic of Pink Stumps Day and help raise the much-needed funds to continue these services.

All proceeds from this event go towards helping the McGrath Foundation place Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia.

There are also lots of great raffle prizes to be won, thanks to the generosity of our local business community. Last year the club raised over $4000 and this year it hopes to raise $5000.

Batting opens at 1pm at the Kin Kin Sportsground, 57 Main St, Kin Kin (after the markets)
