Blues to go pink - Whitby Town to wear one-off kit in support of breast cancer campaign

In a bold and vibrant show of solidarity, the Seasiders will don a one-off, all-pink kit - sponsored by Towbar Express - for their Pitching In Northern Premier League match against Leek Town on Saturday October 19.

The Towbar Express Stadium at the Turnbull Ground will be transformed into a sea of pink for the afternoon, as the club raises vital funds for Breast Cancer Now's Wear It Pink campaign.

Various fundraising activities will be organised throughout the day, including donation stations around the stadium.

Following the match, the specially designed pink shirts will be auctioned off to the highest bidders, providing a unique opportunity for fans to own a piece of this special event while contributing directly to breast cancer research and support services.

Visitors Leek Town will also participate in the campaign by wearing pink armbands as a symbol of their support.

Paul Connolly, a board member and supporter at Whitby Town FC, said: “Transforming the stadium into a pink beacon of hope is a testament to our commitment to supporting breast cancer research and showing solidarity with those affected by the disease.

"We invite the community to join us for this special match, wear pink, and take part in our fundraising activities to help make a meaningful difference."
