Valley support for Pink Stumps Day

VALLEY SUPPORT FOR PINK STUMPS DAY

Moonee Valley Cricket Club showed its support for Pink Stumps Day and breast cancer awareness on the February 17-19 weekend.
Starting with the Under 12s and Under 14s on Friday night, we played with the pink stumps as part of the McGrath Foundation campaign to raise awareness and money.
The support carried over into the Saturday, with both the First Eleven and the Sixths using the pink stumps and pink pads at Ormond Park. We finished off with the Fourths at home on the Sunday.
The three senior home sides all won.

Moonee Valley committed to raise at least $500 for the McGrath Foundation as part of the campaign, and we're confident we'll have exceeded that target once all the money it totalled up.
Our promotion included pink champagne for the ladies on the Saturday, and fundraising and donations throughout the weekend and the weeks leading up.
