Short Story
Hilton College will be hosting the annual Pink Day on 9 November 2024 where all Hilton & Michaelhouse cricket teams will be playing in support of PinkDrive, using the Sport for Lives platform.
We invite everyone, no matter what team or sporting code you are supporting on the day, to wear Pink and get behind the boys by showing your support for this incredible initiative by visiting and:
- Donating an amount of R350 ahead of Friday, 8 November 2024 to wrap a tree in Pink, in honour of a special person who is a cancer survivor, or is fighting the battle, or who has been lost to cancer.
or
- Making any donation.
or
- Pledging an amount per run, boundary or wicket by both teams, to donate after the match.
Let’s activate generosity for PinkDrive together and make this a Pink Day to remember.

Story
PinkDrive NPC, a health sector NGO, was founded in 2009 by Ms. Noelene Kotschan, on the premise that “Early detection will help to prolong a life.” PinkDrive’s cardinal purpose is to contribute meaningfully towards preventing as many people as it can, from succumbing to breast, cervical, prostate and testicular cancer. It’s primary focus is on citizens without access to reasonable care for these conditions, and who reside in areas where health services do not reach.
It recognises that treatable cancers receiving even the basic levels of care, could translate into varying lengths of extended life for the afflicted, when detected and treated early. It’s posture is ostensibly a promoter of health awareness in general, and specifically health education and heightening awareness of gender-related cancers in South Africa.
