We are calling on our cricket followers in South Africa and around the world to get behind the 4th Momentum ODI between the Castle Lager Proteas and England at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on 12 February 2016.
The traditional Pink ODI aims to raise R1 Million rand from initiatives at the match to support the wonderful work the PinkDrive is doing in the Breast Cancer Awareness space.
This challenge was made at a breakfast this morning to announce details around the popular Pink ODI.
The last three Pink ODI’s saw a total of R1,475,000 raised, which contributed to PinkDrive purchasing new mobile mammography and gynaecology trucks.
