After resounding success last year, The Swannies - an art auction that is a joint initiative of the Sydney Swans and Redkite is back!

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Sydney Swans, we have a range of portraits of Sydney Swans greats over the years including Adam Goodes, Micky O, Buddy Franklin, Jude Bolton and Paul Kelly, as well as a selection of the current faces you know and love. 

All artwork is drawn by kids with cancer and their friends, and 100% of funds raised go directly to providing critical emotional, financial and practical support for families facing childhood cancer.  So get bidding for a new piece of art which is sure to warm the heart!

Please note that portraits will continue to be uploaded into the auction site during the week as our talented artists continue to work on their pieces.

Meet one of our artists, Sophie, who drew Swans goal-kicking great Tony Lockett.

When Sophie was six, she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Her family were supported by Redkite and mum Christine is thankful for everyone who helped keep her family together.

“Redkite allowed us to focus on getting our precious little girl better. The people that support Redkite created a miracle by keeping our family strong. Today, Sophie is doing really well and she’s officially cancer free!”
