The young athletes were asked to get involved by wearing pink in lieu of their little athletics uniform for one night and donate a gold coin for the privilege.
Pink cupcakes were also available to purchase - and they sold like hotcakes – well maybe they sold like pink cakes.
A total of 233 athletes competed on Tuesday night, most of whom were decked out in varying shades of pink.
There were athletes sporting pink tutus, pink wigs,pink hats, pink fairy wings and even some stunning pink fishnet tights.
The committee were tickled pink with the way Shoalhaven Athletes embraced
Pinkletics and dug deep to support the McGrath Foundation.
At the event $482.35 was raised which will help make a difference to families experiencing breast cancer.
This was the second year Shoalhaven Little Athletics supported Pinkletics and judging by the pink excitement, it will be an ongoing annual event.
Pink must also be the 'go fast' colour for under 6 girls athlete Sophie
deWit, who ran 11.8 in the 60 metres on Tuesday for a new record - congratulations Sophie.
