Families going through childhood cancer were given the chance to meet their favourite Sydney Swans players at a special movie screening for Redkite held at the IMAX Theatre in Darling Harbour.

Over 120 family members enjoyed chatting with the Sydney Swans players who signed autographs and took photos with the families before watching the 3D hit movie How to Train Your Dragon. Families were also treated to drinks and popcorn, thanks to IMAX.

The Sydney Swans are long term supporters of Redkite and Sydney Swans Co-captain Brett Kirk was thrilled to meet the families that Redkite assists.

“The Swans are proud to be involved in giving these kids an opportunity to have a great day together with their families away from the stress of their cancer treatment regimes,” he said.

“We hope the day brings as much joy to the kids as it does to all of us.”

Other Sydney Swans players who attended were Craig Bolton, Shane Mumford, Mike Pyke, Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Nick Malceski, Jude Bolton, Ryan O’Keefe, Jarrad McVeigh, Ted Richards, Daniel Bradshaw and Jarred Moore.
