The EDJBA is very pleased to announce the fifth Girls Showcase, which will be held on Saturday 16th August to promote and celebrate girls’ basketball.
This Girls Showcase returns to La Trobe Sports Stadium, the venue of the first and third Girls Showcases, following a suggestion made by Ivanhoe Basketball Club. In round 14, all girls’ teams from Ivanhoe and Banyule will be playing home games at La Trobe, the largest EDJBA venue. All 75 games at the six courts will feature girls’ teams. Most EDJBA clubs will have at least one girls team playing at La Trobe and we hope that all clubs support the day. The fixture for the round will be available soon.
In addition to showcasing and celebrating girls’ basketball, the round will also support the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). BCNA is Australia’s leading breast cancer consumer organisation bringing together a network of over 120,000 individuals. There are many ways teams can get involved in the showcase including purchasing pink socks and/or other merchandise through the Breast Cancer Network Australia store or donating through the link below. All funds raised from the Girls Showcase will help the BCNA to continue to ensure all Australians diagnosed with breast cancer receive the very best care, treatment, and support.
All clubs can be involved in supporting the round and supporting the BCNA. We encourage players from all clubs to wear pink socks on the day and supporters at all clubs to wear pink. Pink socks and other merchandise including scrunchies, shoe laces, lanyards, bucket hats, beanies, tattoos and drink coolers can be purchased to support the BCNA via this link: https://pinksportsday.bcna.org.au/store When making a purchase, please ensure it can be recognised as associated with the EDJBA and your club by doing the following:
- When completing your details in the checkout, tick the box next to “This payment is on behalf of an organisation” and then put EDJBA and your club’s name (club name optional). This allows us to know how much merchandise was purchased for the Girls Showcase event
Some BCNA merchandise will be on sale on the day, but we encourage you to purchase online prior if you can. Please allow two weeks for delivery.
Members can also make a donation to our BCNA fundraising page here: BCNA Pink Sports Day – EDJBA Girls Showcase 16th August 2025
More information about the Showcase will be available prior to the day. We look forward to your support!
