NafisaSunderland Extend Heartwarming Bradley Lowery Tribute with Premier League Gesture That’s Touching Lives
Sunderland AFC have reaffirmed their deep connection to the Bradley Lowery Foundation by continuing a heartfelt initiative that reflects the club’s enduring commitment to community care and compassion. For the entire 2025/26 Premier League season, the club will once again donate an executive box at the Stadium of Light to the foundation, enabling families of seriously ill or disabled children to enjoy matchdays in a safe and supportive environment.
Club owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has spearheaded this extraordinary act of generosity, which was confirmed by the foundation following what they described as a “very positive meeting” with the club. In a statement shared on social media, the foundation expressed immense gratitude, stating:
> “We are absolutely over the moon to announce that Sunderland are kindly donating our executive box for yet another season. This allows us to host multiple families at each match, giving them the chance to make lasting memories together. We can’t thank Sunderland enough for their incredible support.”
In a moving expansion of the initiative, the foundation announced that, in addition to children, young adults diagnosed with terminal cancer will also be welcomed into the executive box this season—marking a powerful evolution in their mission to support more lives.
The gesture is one of many by Sunderland and Louis-Dreyfus in honour of Bradley Lowery, the young fan who touched the hearts of the football world with his brave fight against neuroblastoma. Bradley’s close friendship with former Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe and his radiant spirit left a legacy that transcended football—and one that continues to inspire compassion throughout the Wearside community.
Fans across social media have welcomed the club’s ongoing support with warmth and praise. The foundation is encouraging families who wish to experience a match from the box to get in touch directly via: [contact@bradleyloweryfoundation.com](mailto:contact@bradleyloweryfoundation.com).
Touchingly, Sunderland’s final away match of the season will fall on what would have been Bradley’s 15th birthday—Saturday, May 17—as the Black Cats visit Everton at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The timing adds even deeper emotional resonance to an already meaningful act of remembrance.
