Pink the Rink raises over $6000

Pat yourselves on the back, Thunder fans!

Perth's inaugural Pink Night managed to raise a total of $6580 to be donated to the McGrath Foundation, thanks to the fans and sponsors CD Dodd, Haigh and Hastings, Equitem, Smooth Financial Services, Perth Ice Arena and Ryan Laurel Resourcing.

The McGrath Foundation provide support for thousands families affected by breast cancer, regardless of their circumstances, through the funding of specialised breast care nurses, with over 110 of these nurses stationed throughout Australia.

Through the auction of the game-worn jerseys, plus fundraising efforts on the day and healthy donations from fans and sponsors alike, the night was able to go far beyond initial fundraising expectations.

This has led to the announcement that we'll hold another Pink Night in 2017, a testament to the great work of all the volunteers at Perth Thunder in making this night a success.
