Women in Football Pink Ribbon Gala Day

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Today I discuss a very powerful event that I attended earlier this year - the St George Football Association and Peakhurst United Football Club "Women in Football: Pink Ribbon Gala Day". The joint initiative between the two organisations was aimed at raising funds and awareness for women's health. All money raised went to the Cancer Council to fund vital support services, prevention and research into breast cancer. The event was a great example of the power of our local sport and community groups. We can achieve great things when we bring great people together for great causes. The Gala Day also reaffirmed the strength of women's sport in the St George area, which continues to grow. I would like to thank Craig Kiely from St George Football Association for the invitation, as well as his team, and the whole team at Peakhurst United Football Club for organising the event.
