Woodend Cricket Club is hosting a ladies day and high tea to raise funds for breast cancer support.

Titled Pink Stumps Ladies Day, the event will raise money for the McGrath Foundation, which supports people with breast cancer by providing specialist breast care nurses across Australia.

With a pink dress code, the club’s event will include a high tea, guest speakers, raffle tickets, a live auction, live music, and an opportunity for donations.

Woodend Cricket Club events committee member Tegan Eastley said that the McGrath Foundation plays a “critical role” in supporting people with or who have previously had breast cancer.

“For me, it is important to raise funds to ensure that everyone receives the support they require [while] also educating those in the community about breast cancer and how we can help those around us,” Ms Eastley said.

“Fundraising for the McGrath Foundation is very rewarding. It’s such a great way to connect with the community and support a good cause. Plus, you get to meet new people and share some fun experiences,” she said.

“[It is] a great excuse to get the girls together and raise money for a fantastic cause!”

The event will run from 2–7pm on Saturday, February 15 at the Gilbert Gordon Oval Club Rooms in Woodend.

Tickets cost $40 and can be purchased online.
