IN PHOTOS: Ladies play padel in pink for a good cause

The money raised will be utilised in the fight against cancer.

Padel 24 Nelspruit proudly hosted the Padel for Pink Ladies Americano on Thursday, October 23, in aid of the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The courts were alive with laughter, vibrant pink outfits and an inspiring sense of unity as women came together to support a cause that saves lives.

CANSA is a leading non-profit organisation dedicated to fighting cancer through education and patient support. Their mission is to create awareness and promote prevention – reminding everyone that early detection saves lives.

The event aimed to raise funds for CANSA while also spreading awareness about breast cancer and the vital role of regular check-ups.

Raffle prizes generously sponsored by local businesses added excitement and a wonderful sense of community throughout the day.

The winners were Terine Visagie, Anje Hope, Unine Nortje, Larisa de Kock, Candice Peterson and Lisa Erasmus. Erica van Jaarsveld stole the show as the best-dressed participant.

Thanks to the incredible community, sponsors and players, the event was a complete sell-out. Padel 24 Nelspruit looks forward to making Padel for Pink an annual tradition, continuing to raise awareness and support for women’s health.

The Bros and Balls Padel Men’s Americano, in aid of CANSA, will be held at Padel 24 on Thursday, November 6. Booking can be made on Quicket.
