Stadium Sell Out For Sick Kids this Easter
SCHF
- Three Stadiums. Three Sports. One Goal: To change the future for sick kids
- Sydney Swans, Western Sydney Wanderers and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs team up to raise funds to support Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation
This Easter Long Weekend, Sydney’s biggest sporting teams across competing codes are rallying behind the smallest fans to change the future for sick kids.
Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF), along with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Swans and Western Sydney Wanderers, are calling on footy fans, families, and communities across all three codes to join them to unite for the first-ever ‘Stadium Sell Out for Sick Kids’.
This is the first fundraising event uniting all three sporting codes and will support more than 169,000 sick and injured children cared for each year across the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN) – the same number of fans in attendance at three sold out matches across Accor Stadium, CommBank Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground this Easter long weekend.
Fans are invited to support the campaign by making a $20 donation when purchasing tickets to watch their favourite team across the April 18-20 weekend. A donation can be made directly via https://www.schf.org.au/stadium.
All money raised helps fund world-class care across SCHN, including Sydney’s two children’s hospitals – The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick.
“This is sport at its most powerful,” said Kristina Keneally, CEO of SCHF. “By uniting teams, fans and families through a shared goal, we’re changing the future for sick kids – giving them the chance to be back where they belong: on the field, in the stands, or simply being a kid again.
“For some kids, childhood is far from what it should be. Instead of playdates, there are appointments. Instead of sleepovers, there are stays. Instead of firsts, there can be lasts. No child should have to go through this, but those who do deserve our all,” Keneally added.

The campaign is proudly supported by home teams, Sydney Swans, Western Sydney Wanderers, and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, as well as South Sydney Rabbitohs as the Bulldogs’ away opponent, with all three stadiums aiming to sell out – literally and virtually – over one extraordinary weekend.
