The HCA has announced it will be donating $25 to the Bushfire Appeal for every six hit across four A Grade matches at Horsham's City Oval on Saturday.
The $25 donation will be matched by HCA's major sponsor Ben Sawyer of PRP Property Valuers, creating an accumulative $50 to the Bushfire Appeal for every major.
"With the HCA reverting to Twenty20 cricket this weekend, it's a great opportunity to support those communities who are doing it tough," the HCA said.
HCA president Tony Wills said the association might even consider altering the playing parameters at City Oval to encourage some big hitting.
"This is a great initiative to do our bit, and to have Ben Sawyer come on board speaks volumes about him," Mr Wills said.
"I hope all those playing at the City Oval on Saturday are searching for sixes. Who knows, we might even bring the square boundaries in a bit for the day."
