The Sydney French Open is a tennis tournament open to anyone who can hold a racket in Sydney and a fundraising event for Redkite. This 10th anniversary edition will take place at the Eastside Tennis Centre in Kingsford on Saturday 30th September and Sunday 1st October 2023 and is supported by BNP Paribas as the main sponsor.
Redkite is a charity that offers financial, emotional and practical support to families impacted by childhood cancer. Each year in Australia, more than 1000 children get diagnosed with cancer, which includes approximately 10 families from New Caledonia, coming to Westmead Children’s Hospital for treatment.
Those families have their world turned upside down after receiving a diagnosis and are facing additional challenges while undergoing treatment in an unfamiliar country. It is during these times that Redkite steps in to provide invaluable support: groceries, transportation, communication, emotional support and socialization through meet ups, celebrations and various activities.
The Open is structured around four key draws:
- Men,
- Women,
- Junior (11-13 & 14-17 years old)
- Doubles (all ages)
The tournament creates a friendly and competitive atmosphere on and off the courts. During the two days, up to 150 families enjoy the facilities, grab a bite from our food stalls and participate in our silent auction. All proceeds go to Redkite and we welcome new sponsors, donations and support for the event.
Get involved in the Sydney French Open and join us in supporting Redkite as they continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those battling childhood cancer, ensuring that no family faces this journey alone.
