Point Cook Centrals Cricket Club (PCCCC) is inviting you to its Ladies Day High Tea on Saturday, February 22 at the Featherbrook Clubhouse in Point Cook to support an important cause.
From 2-6pm, the club will run a fundraiser with great prizes to help raise vital funds for the Melanoma Institute, in a bid to battle cancer.
While the club is mad about cricket, vice president Brett Talbot said there is always more than centuries and hat tricks to celebrate.
“Having the ladies get together is a lovely way for the wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters of the club to get together, without any actual talk about cricket,” he said.
“At PCCCC, we like to give back to the community and organising a fundraiser for an important cause, in this case, the Melanoma Institute, is our way of doing that.”
The battle against cancer is a fight near and dear to the heart of the club, with the tea also serving as a chance to remember late founder Paul Pritchard, who was affectionately known as ‘Pritch.’
Pritch founded the club and served as president for nine years. Last year he died following his own battle with cancer.
“[He] was an incredibly community minded man who gave a lot of himself to the cricket club,” Mr Talbot said.
Tickets are $50 per person and include the high tea, drinks, a lucky door prize ticket and champagne on arrival.
For those wanting to donate to the fundraiser but are unable to attend, virtual seats will be available for purchase.
