Sydney FC-s Community Program has been one of the success stories of the 2011/12 season with the remarkable progress of young Sydney Children-s Hospital patient Chad McGovern giving the Program a human touch.

While Sydney FC celebrated the achievements of 2011/12 at the recent Sky Blue Ball it was the sight of Chad dressed in a tuxedo and beaming smile, which lit up Doltone House room and the hearts of everyone at Sydney FC.

Chad has provided a constant reminder of how Sydney FC can make a difference in the Community with the youngster and his father Richard regular visitors to training and matches when his treatment has allowed him a day out of hospital.

On Thursday night Chad was almost unrecognisable dressed elegantly in his tuxedo but he served as a valuable reminder that Sydney FC can – and is – Making a Difference!

Sydney FC is proud to continue its Community Program in the 2012/13 season with preparations underway to continue its work with UNICEF, The Sydney Children-s Hospital Foundation, Children-s Medical Research Institute, Football United, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and beyondblue.
