Short Story
This year Michaelhouse will be hosting the annual cricket match for PinkDrive.
The MHS vs Hilton 1st XI boys will be playing on the 11th November 2023 , for PinkDrive using the Sport for Lives platform.
All cricket teams playing on this day will be playing for this incredible cause.
Boys, parents, friends and family are encouraged to donate ahead to get a tree wrapped in honor of a special person who is either a cancer survivor or is fighting the battle, or perhaps someone who they have lost to cancer.
We invite anyone, no matter what team you are supporting on the day, to get behind this incredible initiative.
Join us in activating generosity by donating a once-off amount (minimum is R350) to wrap a tree now or before Friday 10th November.
We will be selling pink caps leading up to the match as well as on the day and all proceeds will go to this campaign.
Let’s activating generosity for PinkDrive together.
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.
