Everton pledges support to Bradley Lowery Foundation as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Everton is proud to reaffirm its support for The Bradley  Lowery  Foundation’s ‘Cancer Has No Colours’ campaign as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 

The Premier League game against West Ham United, at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday 29 September, will be dedicated to the Bradley Lowery Foundation, which helps raise vital awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. 

The Bradley Lowery Foundation also aims to support families who are fundraising for treatment or equipment which is not readily available or covered by the NHS, as well as supporting research into neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers. 

To mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place throughout September, Bradley’s parents, Carl and Gemma, will be the Club’s special guests at the game. They will be joined by former Sunderland and England striker Jermain Defoe, who befriended six-year-old Bradley in 2016. 

Bradley became a symbol of hope and inspiration for the way in which he fought Stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer. He first forged a special bond with Evertonians when he was mascot for Sunderland in a game against the Blues at the Stadium of Light in September 2016, and the Club is proud to support his ongoing legacy to this day. 

As part of our relationship with Bradley’s family and the Bradley Lowery Foundation, which was founded in 2017, Everton will support the ‘Cancer Has No Colours’ message through mascot experiences, in-stadium activations and player-led backing as part of the matchday activity for the visit of West Ham on 29 September. 

Gemma Lowery said:

“Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is very close to my heart, and to have the continued support of a club like Everton means so much. 

“The support they showed Bradley during his journey, and the way they have stood by the Bradley Lowery Foundation ever since, is truly incredible. 

“Together, we can keep raising awareness and vital funds to ensure that children facing cancer today, and in the future, have access to better, kinder treatments. We are so grateful to Everton for standing with us in this fight.” 

Beyond the activity that will be delivered for the visit of West Ham, it is also apt that Sunderland will visit Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Premier League on 17 May, 2026 – Bradley’s 15th birthday.
