This Redkite Day, let's show kids with cancer we're on their team!

The Sydney Swans have been on Redkite’s team for 24 years, supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer through our annual Redkite Day.

Our club is dedicated to helping our fans, members and the community. This Redkite Day, we are asking our footy family to stand with us and show children with cancer we’re on their team.

5,000 Australians will be impacted by childhood cancer this year. Our charity partner, Redkite, provides practical, emotional and financial support for families facing childhood cancer, so they don’t have to face it alone. 

This Redkite Day, your donation will directly help families when they need it most.

About Redkite

Every day in Australia, three families will hear the words: 'your child has cancer' and in that moment, their lives are changed forever. 

Redkite is Australia’s leading national children's cancer charity providing practical, financial and mental health support to families who have a child with cancer.

Whatever challenges cancer puts in a family’s way, Redkite is there to help. Thank you for ensuring families don't have to face their child's cancer alone.

A big thank you to our Supporters
