O n the evening of Thursday 23 June, the AFL Pink Lady Match was played in front of a crowd for the first time in three years. More than 37,000 fans flocked to the MCG to witness Melbourne Football Club take on the Brisbane Lions in a top- of-the-table clash. It was a thrilling game with BCNA partner and reigning AFL premiers, the Dees, wearing Pink Lady socks to support Australians affected by breast cancer, while the goal umpires showed their support by waving pink flags for every goal and behind. Women and men diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as families and friends of those we have lost, stood together in a pink and blue guard of honour as Melbourne players ran out onto the ground, while another 1,000 sat in the dedicated Pink Lady Bay to cheer them on. Outside the ground, match partner Red Energy powered BCNA’s tribute field in a moving show of support for all Australians affected by breast cancer. It’s always a special place for match goers to visit before the game, to reflect and connect, and leave a message of support or in memory of someone they love. The primetime broadcast also turned pink enabling viewers at home to get involved by buying a place to stand in the virtual Pink Lady on the ‘G. The new PLAY4BCNA beanies were a popular purchase, both at the game and online, resulting in a sell-out for the first time ever!
special occasion we will hold the sixth Field of Women, where over 10,000 people affected by breast cancer will stand on the MCG prior to the Pink Lady Match to form the shape of the Pink Lady and raise awareness of the impact of breast cancer.
