Netball team turns pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thu, 07 Oct 2021

Isle of Man Netball is marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month by turning pink.

Breast Cancer Now (Volunteering in the Isle of Man) is Isle of Man Netball’s charity of the year, voted for by members. Throughout the year the association is going to be fundraising and raising awareness for the charity.

To mark the awareness month, Isle of Man Netball has launched a pink scrunchie campaign. Working with local businesswoman Amanda Dawson who owns Hairwrap (Instagram hairwrap.scrunchies), they have created a bespoke pink scrunchie available exclusively to Isle of Man Netball members.

Members purchased 350 scrunchies in total, and players will wear these as they take to the court throughout October. £2 from each scrunchie is being donated to the charity; meaning in total the charity will receive £700 from the campaign.
