Febluary

Once again this year the Southern District Cricket Club along with the South Australian Cricket Association and the Beyond Blue organisation brings a focus to the issues of mental health within the community through the FeBLUary initiative.

Fern Nizzola and his sub-committee including joint initiators of this wonderful program Vanessa Kasbergen and Russell Vincent have again put the wheels in motion to raise the communities awareness of mental health.

Russell has gained significant support from a wide range of business's in the Southern area who have agreed to carry Beyond Blue information in their business's. This support helps spread the message and is much appreciated. We would especially like to thank Travel World for their commitment to this event.

All our players will be issued with a blue Stingrays hat for the match on FeBLUary 19 to continue the clubs commitment to the program.
