Pink Day re-run to aid McGrath Foundation

The annual Jane McGrath Day was a washout at the New Year's Test but Sydney will have another opportunity to go pink in support of the cause, with the Australia-India T20 match to help raise the much-needed funds.

The third and final KFC T20 International at the SCG on January 31 will be themed pink to help the McGrath Foundation reach its fundraising target of $380,000.

That money would be enough to fund one McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse for three years, but the foundation fell short of the target as heavy rain during the New Year's Test saw the lowest attendance on a Jane McGrath Day since its inception in 2009.

"Despite the constant rain, the cricket community still showed strong support during the Pink Test, helping raise more than $250,000," Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said.

"While we can’t control the weather, we do have other international matches ahead, and the third KFC T20 International at the SCG on January 31 will be used to raise important funds and awareness for the McGrath Foundation.

"The match is close to a sell-out, giving thousands of cricket fans the chance to again support this important cause by wearing pink."

McGrath Foundation Co-founder & President Glenn McGrath said: "The McGrath Foundation is extremely grateful for the generosity and ongoing support of Cricket Australia, the SCG Trust and the Australian cricket community.

"Turning the KFC T20 International pink gives the McGrath Foundation the opportunity to raise much needed funds to continue placing McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia."
