Get ready for an unforgettable charity lunch that will warm your heart and make a difference as the Port Douglas Crocs bring back the Pink Sports Day on May 13th following last year's incredibly successful event.

The immense popularity proves as the event has sold out within minutes of the sale going live.

To accommodate more guests, the event has moved to the larger and more accommodating venue of Salsa Bar and Grill, and even though the charity lunch has sold out, there are still plenty of ways to get involved and make a contribution. 

Throughout the day, raffles will be held at the Croc Pitt during the match to raise money for the charities, and your support for these raffles would be appreciated. This is a fantastic way to get involved with the event even if you weren't able to secure a ticket for the charity lunch.

The funds raised on the day will be split 50/50 between FNQ breast cancer support group 'Pink in the Tropics' and Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia, ensuring that every dollar donated goes towards supporting these vital causes.

Generous benefactors

Just like last year, Next Green Group is once again generously supporting this important charity event. 

As the parent company of Microgrid Power, The Green Guys, and Next Business Energy, they are committed to making a positive impact and giving back to the community.

Dean Scadding, the Regional Queensland representative of Next Green Group, expressed his pride in being the major sponsor of the Pink Sports Day once again.

“Our goal is to raise awareness and promote the excellent work done by both charities in supporting the Douglas community and research projects,” Mr Scadding said.

“Last year had a great turnout of spectators at the footy game, making people aware of such conditions is a great education for spectators.

“Next Green Group is not only a leader in sustainable energy solutions, we are also leaders in giving back to charities and communities such as Vinnies’ CEO Sleepout , Cancer Council and of course Pink Sports Day.

“Many local businesses have come forward with donations and prizes which is fantastic and shows how much the businesses appreciate what these charities do.

“Pink in the Tropics provides enormous support for many ladies in the Douglas Shire, from ongoing support to care packages. Prostate Cancer, one of the biggest killers of men, conducts beneficial research."
