SMCC who organize the famous Cricket-on-Ice (COI) tournament, nominate a yearly charity to support! Having supported good causes in the past, we were looking for a longer term partnership with a cricket-related organization that supports cancer patients & families.

We are delighted to share that the Ruth Strauss Foundation will be the SMCC / COI nominated charity for the 2025-26 season and hopefully thereafter https://www.cricket-on-ice.com/news/ruth-strauss-foundation/

We encourage all supporters and friends to support this partnership by "just giving" to this page!

The Ruth Strauss Foundation supports families when a parent is living with an incurable cancer, helping them have the conversations that matter most and providing tailored emotional support.

We also raise awareness and fund research into non-smoking lung cancer – a growing but often overlooked illness.

Our mission is simple: to ensure no family faces these challenges alone.
