Kye's Kicking Goals

The Adelaide Football Club welcomed 15-year-old Kye to training this week as part of our valued partnership with the club — and it’s fair to say you couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

Kye is one of our Variety SA Heart Scholarship recipients, and our only footy recipient. Living with Autism and ADHD, he can sometimes find social situations challenging, but physical activity is where he truly thrives.

At Showdown 59, Kye will take centre stage. He is leading the team through the banner, tossing the coin and presenting the Variety Showdown Medal.

In true community spirit, we extend our sincere thanks to Sterling Homes and Bendigo Bank for making this special opportunity possible, along with all the incredible supporters of Variety SA.
Every Child Deserves to Thrive
Change Takes All Of Us
Every child deserves the chance to explore, grow, and dream without limits. Their potential shouldn’t be defined by disability, illness, or financial hardship. We work to remove those barriers and open the doors to new possibilities.
