Australian Fans Support McGrath Foundation

January 5th 2009 11:25
Cricket fans have thrown their support behind the McGrath Foundation at the 3 Mobile Test with already $100 000 being donated to the McGrath Foundation.

Day 1 saw over $43 000 collected at the ground by 3 Mobile volunteers through the distribution of pink bandanas, over $8000 raised through auctions at the SCG Trust Chairman’s breakfast, while over $50 000 has been raised so far through online donations since the pink 3 Mobile Test promotion went live on the McGrath Foundation website.

Online donations will continue through the Test with cricket fans encouraged to log on to www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au for the chance to win the special edition signed Australian player shirts thanks to 3 Mobile and adidas. 3 Mobile volunteers at the match will also be encouraging spectators at the ground to donate.

Chairman of the McGrath Foundation, Glenn McGrath has been overwhelmed with the public backing of the McGrath Foundation:

“The support we’ve had at the match has been amazing, from Cricket Australia, the SCG Trust and especially 3 Mobile with the signage all over the ground and players shirts in pink,” McGrath said.

“The foundation is very grateful to the public for their support, and hopefully it will continue through the 3 Mobile Test match with the fantastic signed shirts up for grabs until the end of the match.”
