Parramatta Eels Supertee Community Fundraising Page

United in blue and gold the Leagues Club the fans the community and the team bring strength to children

For many children in hospital the experience can be frightening, confusing and filled with long hours of treatments, tubes and medical procedures. The Parramatta Eels Supertee has been created to bring strength through imagination to these children at the moment they need it most.

A Supertee is a medical garment that looks and feels like a Parramatta Eels costume. It opens easily at the shoulders and sides so nurses and parents can dress and undress a child without disturbing medical lines. It helps clinicians work faster and more comfortably while keeping the child covered and protected.

But the real power of the Supertee is emotional.

When a young Parramatta fan puts it on, something shifts.

They are no longer just a patient.

They feel brave, proud and connected to their team.

They recognise the colours. They recognise the story. They feel that their club and their community are standing with them.

Families tell us that their children smile more, participate more and cope better through procedures when they wear a Supertee. For some children it becomes the first thing they ask for in the morning and the last thing they want to take off before bed.

The Parramatta Eels Supertee is more than clothing. It is comfort, dignity and imagination wrapped into one. It is a way for a child to hold on to who they are at a time when everything else feels out of their control.

If you want to help a child in hospital feel stronger, prouder and more connected to the team they love, this is one of the most direct ways to do it.
