Craig HillSCG Turns Pink For McGrath Foundation
January 4th 2009 11:03
In what is believed to be a world first for a sporting event, all aspects of the 3 Mobile Test today turned pink to support the McGrath Foundation.
3 Mobile has turned the match stumps, grass signage, perimeter signage, and with adidas, the logos on the match shirts pink. This combined with the crowd wearing pink McGrath Foundation bandanas will see the 3 Mobile Test fully integrated with Cricket Cares partner the McGrath Foundation.
It is believed to be the first time at a major sporting event that a charity has been completely integrated; with the playing equipment, the player uniforms, the playing surface, the venue and the crowd all getting behind the McGrath Foundation’s cause.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland was proud to be helping the McGrath Foundation:
“The McGrath Foundation does a tireless job of supporting women with breast cancer and Cricket Australia is glad that it can help assist in getting the public behind the cause,” Sutherland said.
“I’d also like to thank 3 Mobile for their wonderful support and passion in making the pink 3 Mobile Test possible, I’m sure all watching at the game or on television will see the brilliant pink signage and be reminded of the McGrath Foundation.”
3 Mobile CEO Nigel Dews was equally proud to support the McGrath Foundation:
“Being able to integrate our key sponsorship, major Charity Partner in the McGrath Foundation with the support of our staff who are distributing pink McGrath Foundation bandanas throughout the Sydney 3 mobile Test Match is a great example of us all working together to make a difference.”
The Australian team shirt features the hot pink of the McGrath Foundation thanks to 3 Mobile and adidas, and fans can win the unique shirts worn and signed by the Australian Test team by donating to the McGrath Foundation at www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au during the 3 Mobile Test in Sydney.
McGrath Foundation Board Member Tracy Bevan thanked the Australian public in advance for their support:
“We’ve always thought that we had some of the best looking cricketers in the world but they can only look better in pink – after all … doesn’t everyone!”
