About Kicking Goals for Sick Kids

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.

Kicking Goals for Sick Kids is more than just a 24-hour futsal marathon — it’s a powerful demonstration of community, compassion and commitment, led by the incredible George Shalala. Now in its 11th year, the event has raised over $1.2 million for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation, supporting vital services at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

George’s unwavering dedication, generosity, and passion for helping sick kids has inspired hundreds of players, families, businesses and supporters to rally together for this cause.

Thanks to George and the amazing community behind Kicking Goals, every dollar raised makes a real and lasting impact in the lives of sick kids and their families.

Thank you to my Supporters
