Cricket for a great cause

Celebrity chef Matt Golinski and Jimmy Wilkins, winner of The Block 2020 television series and Pomona Fire and Emergency Services firefighter will be wearing traditional pink tutus in support of the McGrath Foundation when they take to the pitch on Sunday 4 June from 1pm for the annual Pink Stumps charity cricket match.

The event that pits Kin Kin against Noosa Council will be held at Kin Kin Oval (behind the pub).

Spokeswoman Wanda Jardine said organisers were delighted that Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, who has been part of this event since its start in 2016, would once again umpire the match.

The McGrath Foundation provides specialist McGrath breast care nurses to support individuals and their families experiencing breast cancer by providing physical, psychological, and emotional support.

“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,“ she said.

“There are also 31 fantastic raffle prizes to be won, thanks to the generosity of our local business community.“

Tickets in the raffle can be bought at Noosa Council Chambers Pelican Street Tewantin Service Desk or at

pinkisthecolour.com.au/fundraiser/kinkin

Everyone is welcome to join in for an afternoon of fun and food in the charming Kin Kin Hinterland village.

For more information or to buy raffle tickets, contact Wanda Jardine on 0407 962 721.
