Claims about how the McGrath Foundation spends money has caused a stir online as cricket players and fans turn Sydney Cricket Ground pink for the annual Jane McGrath Day
Cricket great Glenn McGrath and his family took to the field in pink for the third cricket test match between Australia and Pakistan on Friday.
Jane McGrath Day, named after McGrath’s late wife, is a major fundraising initiative for the McGrath Foundation, which funds nurses who support individuals and their families experiencing breast cancer.
However, journalist Stephen Long took to social media on Friday morning to reveal why he “won’t be wearing pink” to the match.
“From its donated money, McGrath Foundation spends more on fundraising and marketing than breast care nurses,” he wrote on X.
