Over $400 000 raised for McGrath Foundation

The Australian public has dug deep to support the McGrath Foundation during the Sydney Test Match between Australia and South Africa.

Late in Day 4, over $400 000 had been counted through donations, with funds still pouring in.

Chairman of the McGrath Foundation, Glenn McGrath thanked the Australian public for their support:

“There was no way we could have anticipated the level of funds that have been donated. We’re extremely grateful and promise to use the money in a way that helps make a difference. To say thank you hardly seems enough," said McGrath.

“Yesterday’s Jane McGrath Day was an amazing day, and was just so good to see that Matthew Hayden’s idea of making a cricket crowd pink to raise awareness of breast cancer become such a successful reality.”

The public can still make donations at www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au and go into the draw to win one of the eleven signed match shirts from the Australian team. This competition closes at the completion of the Test match.
