We use the hashtag #PinkStumpsDay to help us create momentum and share the magic of the McGrath Foundation’s cricketing summer. Use the #PinkStumpsDay hashtag whenever you share your messages, posts, images and videos. Please encourage all parents, players and supporters to show their support by sharing your posts and to create posts themselves!
Nothing brings people together like a game of cricket and in 2017 we’ll be reminiscing about the cricket we played when we were growing up. This year, share photos of you, your family, your team or your backyard on those days where it was all about a bat, a ball, and finding a pitch wherever you could.

Cricket; part of the Aussie way of life – we want to see your memories!
Cricket is like many events in our lives, we have the desire to collect mementos; programs, tickets, autographs and souvenirs – a tangible way of reliving and remembering a day at the cricket spent with family and friends, children with parents, gathered around a TV or listening to the radio at a beach or BBQ. A bat and a ball were never far away, seemingly making an appearance at most family and friend gatherings; we all have very fond memories of grandpa hitting a ball over the fence or your son diving for the catch which saved the game… and got you out!
The McGrath Foundation wants you to share the memories that give you the most cricket nostalgia by posting photos on your social media and tagging #PinkStumpsDay. We would love to know which backyard rules applied, if you ever got in trouble for hitting it into the neighbours’ yard, who your idols were, what you used as stumps! Our best cricketing legends never forget their humble beginnings or their backyard battles, and we don’t want you to either!
Just for fun…Did you know Thursdays are traditionally a day for sharing old photos? It’s called #ThrowbackThursday. So why not do some posts on Thursdays leading up to your game, tag @Mcgrathfoundation and use the hashtags #throwbackthursday and #PinkStumpsDay. Follow the hashtags and you might even see some pics from cricketing legends when they were little tackers!
Social posts:The social posts below are examples to help you get your message out. Feel free to get creative with them.

Sharing your PSD fun with videos and photos
We love to see how much fun everyone is having at their Pink Stumps Day so take plenty of photos and videos – don’t forget to tag us!
Here are some simple guidelines and tips to make your video the best it can be.
1. Keep it fun! We want to see just how much fun you’re having at your Pink Stumps Day. You might even want to show us some of your fundraising tips and tricks.
2. Light it up. Make sure your video is shot in good light. You don’t want to hide your faces.
3. A little bit louder now. Remember to speak up so your voice is clear.
4. Good things come in threes. Interviews don’t always have to face the camera. Think of having three people involved; the cameraman, the interviewer and the interviewee (it feels less formal that way).
5. Take your time. If you don’t get it right in the first take, just try again. That’s the beauty of editing! Also, keep your videos short and sweet – 30 seconds works well.
