Purpose behind the pink

CASEY Netball will pink up for Breast Cancer Network Australia’s annual Pink Sports Day with a round of matches to be played from Monday 4 to Sunday 10 May.
Pink Sports Day is an opportunity for sporting groups around Australia to show their support for, and pay tribute to, people in their local community who have been affected by breast cancer.
All money raised through Pink Sports Day will go directly to BCNA to help ensure Australians affected by breast cancer receive the very best support, information, treatment and care.
BCNA CEO Christine Nolan said Pink Sports Day was a chance for sporting communities to raise awareness and support for local women affected by breast cancer.
“More than 15,000 women in Australia are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. These women – mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends – need to know that they are supported,” Christine said.
“By taking part in Pink Sports Day, Casey Netball is helping to ensure their local women know that they are not alone in their breast cancer journey, while also raising awareness of the support services available.”
Casey Netball urges the local community to get behind the Pink Sports Round at Casey Netball.
“Pink Sports Day is a great opportunity for the whole community to head down to our Casey Netball and support not just the teams competing on the day, but also to show support for locals affected by breast cancer,” Sue Booth said.
“We hope that everyone will come together, pink up and get behind the teams as they play for a great cause.”
