A JIMBOOMBA mother will deliver a passionate speech on how breast cancer has affected her family during a Pink Stumps Day event at the Loganholme Cobras Cricket Club on April 6.
Loganholme police station volunteer in policing Rosemary Peake's daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age.
Ms Peake said she wanted to speak out in support of medical research in the hope of finding a cure for the condition.
The Pink Stumps Day will feature eight cricket teams with eight players playing seven over games from 9am.
There will be at least 15 stalls, live entertainment, raffles, kids activities, jumping castles, commentary and a fast-bowling competition.
Logan police will support the event and provide a speed radar to be used for the fast-bowling competition.
Local firefighters will also attend and take part in a bowling competition against police.
Forde MP Bert van Manen and a number Logan City Councillors will attend.
Loganholme Cricket Club spokesperson Shayne Western said the club was aiming to get 2000 people to the event.
"Just imagine if 2000 people turned up and everyone donated $5. You can see how that adds up," he said.
"Our target is $30,000, and personally I believe we will go close with the amount of businesses and people coming on board."
The Pink Stumps Day fundraising record of $38,333 is held by Macclesfield in South Australia.
Mr Western said members of surrounding cricket clubs would be invited to support the cause.
The McGrath Foundation funds nurses who support individuals and their families experiencing breast cancer.
More than 70,700 families have been supported since 2005.
The event is being held at Tansey Driver, Tenah Merah from 8am on Saturday, April 6.
