SYDNEY SIXERS SQUADS SUPPORT REGIONAL YOUTH

11 Feb 2020

For the ninth year, Sony Foundation partnered with the BBL’s Sydney Sixers cricket team, for the ‘Sixers Can, You Can’ campaign, which saw the Sixers community unite to raise over $18,000 for youth cancer patients in regional areas.

For the first time, both the men and women’s squads wore jerseys emblazoned with words of inspiration and hope from You Can Champs in a special tribute to youth cancer patients across New South Wales. The campaign will raise funds for a You Can Centre in Sydney for 15 – 25 year olds with cancer.

“Having the Sydney Sixers by my side, basically holding my hands every step of the way, is making everything better”

Felicity, You Can Champion

This You Can Centre at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse will be the first in Australia to include three private accommodation suites to support regional and rural patients and their families during periods of treatment. The Sixers' one-off jerseys were auctioned and the funds raised will provide various regional youth cancer patients and their families with 180 nights of accommodation when they are required to travel to Sydney for complex treatment.
