A record 600 Pink Sports days will be held around the country this weekend all playing for Breast Cancer Network Australia.(BCNA)
 
Local clubs across sporting codes from footy to basketball and even pony clubs will be dressing in pink socks, beanies, jumpers and scarves to raise money in support of Australians affected by breast cancer.
 
CEO of BCNA Kirsten Pilatti says May is a month of fun and purpose. " Everyone knows someone who has been touched by breast cancer and local communities  know how to rally around their own. A Pink Sports Day is good for the hood, whether it is playing for someone undergoing treatment, or in memory of someone who has died, it is their efforts that help BCNA advocate for better outcomes for everyone with a cancer diagnosis."
