Pink is the colour of care
We are fundraising to ensure that no one goes through cancer without the care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.
McGrath Cancer Care Nurses help individuals and their families affected by cancer by providing invaluable clinical, psychosocial, and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment. .
Come and be a part of our Pink Stumps Day or make a donation to help us achieve our fundraising goal.
Thank you so much for your support.

KEY EVENTS
Leader’s Shoot – Monday, October 26th
The festival will officially launch with a media and promotional photo shoot at Merrivale Rec. Res, involving club leaders and representatives from participating clubs
Players Run – Thursday, November 5th
Training will have a pink twist to it with all players to wear some form of pink for training to help set the tone for the weekend. The theme of our cause will be ever present in the way we train. Be fearless in putting our best selves forward. There’s no reason to fear failure or the result of a game of cricket — it’s just a game. When others are facing the uncertainty of a much bigger fight, we have every reason to play with courage, give our best, and embrace the result.
Tea will be served alongside a small presentation for the weekends events
Pink Stumps Match & Pink Arvo Tea – Saturday, November 7th
The main cricket event will see Merrivale take on Dennington in our Pink Stumps fixture. Our Tigers will be wearing our iconic Pink and Black kit with Dennington to don pink hats and pads for their kit
Alongside the match, the club will host a Pink Arvo Tea, with supporters and players from both teams encouraged to get involved and contribute to the fundraising effort.
