Charity match for McGrath
A member of the Umina Junior Cricket Club has organised a charity match event in support of the McGrath Foundation.
Daniel MacLean came up with the idea to raise money for breast cancer at the last round of his Under-11s season on February 20 and 27.
Daniel's father Bill MacLean, who is also an active charity fundraiser in the Peninsula community, said he was proud of his son's initiative.
"Well my boy Daniel has got his dad's bug for fundraising," Mr MacLean said.
"Daniel came up with the idea that in the last round of his team season they should all wear pink playing shirts.
"During the match the boys have snared sponsors to donate $1 for every four the team hits. "We are encouraging all spectators to wear pink as well to get into the spirit of the day.
"We are also having a barbecue during the game with all food donated by Woolies at Woy Woy and the proceeds going to the foundation."
The match will be played at Umina high school on Veron Rd.
