TC Turns Pink

Once again Waterford became a sea of pink on Saturday 18 June as our Trinity boys pulled on their pink socks against Scotch College for our annual Pink Sock Day in support of the McGrath Foundation.

The legacy of Lochie Taylor (’16) has continued in 2022 as our Trinity 1st sporting teams and our community united and pulled on their pink socks for our seventh annual Pink Sock Day that raises awareness and much needed funds for the McGrath Foundation. Starting back in 2016, Pink Sock Day has become a firm favourite on the Trinity College calendar with everyone coming together to embrace the day and support the boys as they rally to raise money that goes towards supporting the thousands of families across Australia affected by breast cancer. The funds raised by the College community on Pink Sock Day helps these people, and their families, with nursing care from the time of diagnosis, right throughout treatment. This year, we were lucky enough to have a visit from TC Old Boy and Essendon Football player, Nic Martin (’18) who signed a special pink footy in support of Pink Sock Day. Whilst here, Nic highlighted how Pink Sock Day was one of his favourite fixtures during his time at Trinity and said giving the pink flower to his mum, one of his biggest supporters, was always a nice touch. The boys presenting the pink flower to their mum, or a significant female in their life, has also become a special part of the Pink Sock tradition and although the primary goal for the day is to raise funds, it is also a time to say ‘thank you’ to the influential women in their lives and to remind the boys how lucky they are to have them. We look forward to seeing our community continue to embrace this special day for years to come.
