THE Glasshouse Cricket Club’s Women’s Health Month bake sale was a two-fold success with over $800 raised for Bloomhill Cancer Care as well as raising awareness of women’s health with players.
Club secretary Leigh Owen said the club’s bake sale followed two women’s cricket matches, which was a perfect setting for the event.
“It wasn’t a huge event, but it didn’t need to be, it was nice that is was just low key,” she said.
“We raised around $800 and every little bit counts.”
Owen said the event was also important in giving a platform to raising awareness for women’s health in a sport setting, to ensure players know their cricket club is a safe space for communication.
“It was a great initiative for women’s health within our club,” she said.
“It’s really important that we ensure that we look after ourselves and in kind look after our team mates.
“Communicating and expressing your feelings is really important… and to make sure you reach out to friends and family when you aren’t feeling 100 per cent.”
