Sydney, Australia, 6th November – Snap-on Tools has once again gone pink for a purpose, raising over $303,000 through its 2025 Socket to Breast Cancer initiative in support of the McGrath Foundation. Over the two-year partnership, the Socket to Breast Cancer initiative has raised more than half a million dollars to support those impacted by cancer.

This year’s campaign far exceeded its $250,000 goal, bringing Snap-on’s two-year fundraising total to more than $515,000.

This is an extraordinary contribution helping fund McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia who provide critical care and support to individuals and families impacted by cancer.

The initiative, now in its second year, was powered by Snap-on’s limited-edition pink tool range, as well as the generosity of its franchisees, customers, and local communities nationwide. From workshops to garages and trackside at motorsport events, supporters across the country came together once again to make a difference.

Phil Read, three times top fuel champion and Snap-on ambassador, has helped drive awareness and fundraising by wrapping his Top Fuel Dragster Pink and Black in support.

“It’s been amazing to see how the automotive and motorsport community has rallied behind this initiative,” said Read. “Everyone knows someone touched by breast cancer, and I’m proud to stand alongside Snap-on and the McGrath Foundation to help make a difference.”

Adam Wright, National Marketing and Product Manager, Snap-on Tools Australia & New Zealand, said the results show what’s possible when a community comes together for a great cause.

“We’ve been blown away by the continued support for Socket to Breast Cancer,” said Wright. “Our Franchisees and customers have helped us raise more than half a million dollars in just two years. It’s a true reflection of the power of our network and the generosity of the people behind it.”

Tracy Bevan, McGrath Foundation Ambassador and Director says, “We cannot thank Snap-on Tools enough for once again going above and beyond in their fundraising efforts for the McGrath Foundation. The incredible generosity that the Snap-on Tools team and supporters have shown throughout October has blown us away. The amazing donation of $303,000 will help us ensure that individuals and their families who are experiencing a cancer diagnosis have access to the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse when they need it most.”
