Play in Pink in aid of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute is open for registrations for 2026. Last year there were over 230 clubs around Ireland that took part and they contributed to a total of €810,000 raised for the charity.
With breast cancer affecting 1 in 7 Irish women before the age of 75 this is a hugely important charity and the money you raise goes directly to help funding research programmes to help improve outcomes for breast cancer sufferers.
The motto is Play for Good, Play for Fun and a Play in Pink day is a fun day for everyone who takes part. The charity provides merchandise (printed posters / social graphics / balloons / pencils / tees / table cloths / signs etc.) to help you decorate your club in pink and also gives prizes for you to use on the day for either a singles or team competition.
Your photos can appear on their social channels and support is available from the charity to help you organise your day.
Can my club get involved?
Absolutely! All you need to do is select a day at your club that you can designate as a Play in Pink day. Then go to the website www.PlayInPink.com and register your day with the charity.
A member of the Play in Pink team will be in touch with you then to help you arrange details for your day, send you prizes that you can use as well as giving you support in terms of promoting the day and making it lots of fun for everyone who takes part.
Can anyone take part?
Some clubs run members only days but many are open days so you can play at your own club or at other clubs. Visit www.PlayInPink.com and click on the calendar page and you’ll see all the days registered so far for 2026. If they are open days there will be a link for you to book online, or if they are members days at your club you can contact the co-ordinator at your club and book your place.
How is the money raised and can I help?
The money raised from the Play in Pink days is donated directly to the charity by the hosting club after the event, so by participating in the day and paying your entry fee you are supporting the charity. Clubs can also run raffles, fun games like ‘buy a mulligan’, have coffee mornings or auctions and again by participating in these you are directly supporting the charity.
There is also the option to donate money directly to the charity and if you visit www.PlayInPink.com you can click on the donate button and make an instant donation
