THE Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) hosted its annual breast cancer awareness event, “Sarah’s Day,” on May 2, bringing the community together in a vibrant show of support.
Held in honour of those affected by breast cancer, the day is named after former player and valued club member Sarah Locke. Now in its seventh year, the event was originally founded by Sarah and a group of passionate women, and continues to hold deep significance for the club and wider community.
Attendees dressed in shades of pink, creating a unified and uplifting atmosphere. Guests enjoyed champagne, light refreshments and shared conversations.
On the field, Seymour faced Tatura across all football and netball grades, with the visiting club warmly embraced as part of the day. One player from each grade was recognised with a Player of the Match award.
Guest speaker Jess Pearce shared her personal journey with breast cancer, while a community raffle contributed to fundraising efforts.
The event raised around $15,000 for Breast Cancer Awareness Australia, an outstanding effort for the community. SFNC A-grade netballer Ruby Martin was a primary speaker at the event, and thanked attendees for their ongoing support.
“This cause will always be very dear to our heart and hope we can carry on as a tradition.”
“Thankyou to everyone who has continuously supported and donated to the cause.”
