For 13 years, the Mudgeeraba Nerang & Districts Cricket Club has raised money for the McGrath Foundation by holding a Pink Stumps Day.  

This year, they had a very special guest – McGrath Foundation President and co-founder Glenn McGrath.  

The club was quick to take advantage of the former fast bowler’s presence, auctioning off an over with Glenn for an impressive $3,000!  

More than 200 guests were on hand for the annual event which raised over $38,000 in support of our McGrath Cancer Care Nurses, with the day’s activities including a special lunch, cricket and raffles and prizes.  

“The McGrath Foundation Pink Stumps Day is an integral part of the Mudgeeraba Nerang and Districts Cricket Club season ever year,” says Club President Matt Gill. “Our entire cricketing family pull together to raise awareness and funds for such a worthy cause.”  

A cause that is close to the heart for organisers Kim Gill and Pam Munro. Pam’s sister Debbie passed away from cancer at age 47.  

“Debbie was unfortunate to be diagnosed with two primary cancers, cervical and lung, which after 6 years had metastasised, and she could no longer bravely fight the fight,” says Pam. “With the McGrath Foundation’s expansion into providing care and support for all types of cancer, we can only smile and dream of how Debbie would have benefited and loved the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.”
