Oakhill College's Pink Stumps Day: A Vibrant Display of Community Spirit and Service

Recently, Oakhill College turned pink to celebrate the annual Pink Stumps Day event. This colourful spectacle not only brought joy and excitement to the college grounds but also served as a poignant reminder of the power of community and the spirit of service that lies at the heart of the Lasallian tradition.

The festivities kicked off with the spirited Year 11 Girls Touch Tournament, setting the stage for a weekend filled with an array of engaging activities. From a bustling car wash to thrilling sports games, tempting cake stalls and enticing raffles, there was something for everyone to enjoy and participate in.

However, beyond the surface-level revelry, Pink Stumps Day at Oakhill had a deeper purpose - to make a tangible impact in the fight against breast cancer. With the ambitious goal of funding a Breast Care nurse, whose services are essential in providing critical support to those affected by the disease, the Oakhill community rallied together with determination and generosity.

The statistics speak volumes - with 56 Australians being diagnosed with breast cancer every day, the urgency of the cause was undeniable. Despite the substantial fundraising target of $380,000 over three years, Oakhill College has demonstrated its unwavering dedication by surpassing expectations and raising over $6,500 thus far.

For those who wish to join in supporting this noble cause, the opportunity remains open. Online donations can be made at the dedicated link https://www.pinkisthecolour.com.au/fundraisers/oakhillcollegecricket?fbclid=IwAR2ncfFX7ircl8_lD7kW6t7POYx8ctkG18GWHN9mrQImoh4YkbQeUWQItcA  and participation in the raffle, with tickets priced at $10 each, is also still open https://www.trybooking.com/1183309. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, plays a vital role in making a real and lasting difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.

As we reflect on the success of Pink Stumps Day at Oakhill College, we extend our deepest gratitude to all those who contributed, participated and supported this important cause. Your unwavering commitment and generosity exemplify the true spirit of community and service that defines the Lasallian ethos.

Oakhill College's Pink Stumps Day stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose and a collective heart. May this event inspire us all to continue serving others, spreading hope, and making a difference in the world around us.
