Raising Awareness for Men's Mental Health

Fundraising for Men's Mental Health

Supporting Men's Mental Health

Bringing Men Together

A “cap” is presented to players that achieve a milestone like:
  • 50 runs is a game
  • 5 wickets in a game
  • Play 5 games
  • Hit 85.6 runs

The “cap” is a bucket hat for the away team and a baggie for the home team, presented to the players to spread the #ItsTimeToTalk message.
