Cricket SA goes pink for breast cancer awareness
Cricket fans will go pink to support the PinkDrive and breast cancer awareness.
CRICKET fans will go pink to support the PinkDrive and breast cancer awareness for the fourth Momentum One Day International (ODI) between the Proteas and England at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Friday, February 12.
The match will start at 13:30.
The traditional Pink ODI gets the Protea cricket team to switch their green attire for the day and go pink. The aim is to raise R1-million from activities at the match which will go towards PinkDrive’s breast cancer awareness initiatives. Uber will be assisting in meeting this target by matching 50 per cent of all Uber trips taken to and from the game. In addition, Uber will also give cricket supporters 10 per cent off Uber rides to and from the match.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive, Haroon Lorgat, commented: “Congratulations to Uber for joining this initiative, which is part of cricket’s broader responsibility within society. Everyone involved deserves special thanks for their support of this initiative.”
The Uber promo code, CRICKETSA, has been set up for fans wanting to make use of this service. A special 10 per cent discount will apply to all fans making use of Uber to and from the cricket stadium, while first time Uber users will get a R100 discount off their first trip to or from the stadium.
