Mental health awareness and fundraising is on the cards later this month at a charity cricket event.
“The Sunshine Eights is a day of cricket, supported by local businesses since 2020,” organiser Tyler Phelps said.
“The purpose is to raise awareness and funds for issues that aren’t talked about enough— mental health. Everyone is welcome to sign up and play.
“The format is made for good times: fast-paced games, eight overs, eight players on a team, with drinks and food available. Sunshine Brewery is sponsoring Gisborne Gold kegs, so you won’t go thirsty.
“The previous two events (formerly the Movember Friendly) raised around $9000 for the Movember Foundation. This year they’re hoping to have a local impact by also supporting charitable group #Hear4U who advocate for men’s mental health here in Tairāwhiti.
