I'm raising funds for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation!
In loving memory of Alex Samawi who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in August 2021 and after a brave battle sadly passed away in May 2022. Alex was 8 years old. Alex lives on in our hearts and will never be forgotten. We hope our fundraising efforts will help other sick kids get through their illnesses.
We are pleased to be holding our 10th annual event, which aims to raise much-needed funds for The Children's Hospital at Westmead. What better way to do this than by playing a 24-hour continuous game of soccer/futsal!
- Where: Wanderers 5s (Western Sydney Wanderers Precinct) 81 Eastern Road, Rooty Hill NSW 2766
- When: Friday the 25th October (6 pm) to Saturday the 26th October (6 pm).
Since its inception, the event has contributed over $950k to The Children's Hospital at Westmead. This year, we aim to raise over $200,000, with the funds going to the Heart Centre, Oncology and Neurology departments. The utilisation of funds are agreed upon with each department.
This event is unique because ALL proceeds/donations go directly to the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF). There are no expenses. Everything is donated; the facility, food, marketing, t-shirts, show-bags and various other items. We have no running costs- 100% of donations go to help sick kids.
Wanderers 5s is an outstanding community facility and accommodates over 500 players participating in the event at various timeslots. Players range in age from 5 to over 55 years: boys and girls, mums and dads at all levels of football. There will be a BBQ, face painting, silent auctions, raffles, superheroes, special guests and more.
