On Saturday, the campaign culminated in a ladies day function aimed at celebrating the women who make the game possible.

Tamworth's playing fields were decked out in pink as ladies from across the region gathered for a day of action-packed baseball.
Featuring food catered by Why Not, the day was also aimed at raising even more funds for the worthy causes.
The fund raising efforts even spilled onto the field with the Cougars scoring a combined 37 runs across two games, netting a further $185 for the campaign.
In recognition of the special day for the club, every player in both A and B grade, donned special Protect second base, breast cancer awareness jerseys.
Long-time Cougars member Richard Bullock said the entire club had got right behind the cause.
"I think at its core, this whole campaign is a great way for everyone in our community to recognise and support all of the important women in our lives," Bullock said.
"We have been collecting fines in the dugout for all the trivial stuff that happens during a game and all of the players have really got behind it.
"Hopefully, the success of this year's campaign can see this become an annual thing for our club in the future."
