Phoenix Star Nathan Sobey to support Neuroblastoma Fundraiser

South East Melbourne star Nathan Sobey has stepped up in support of a remarkable charity challenge, donating signed shoes and jerseys to help raise funds for children battling neuroblastoma.

The items will go under the hammer as part of a charity auction backing Trent Robertson’s 2,000km run and cycle from Victoria to Noosa, a gruelling month-long effort in September to raise more than $100,000 for Neuroblastoma Australia’s Noosa for Neuro campaign.

The Phoenix have also stepped in, donating four platinum seats to an NBL26 home game this season.

Sobey said hearing about the challenge and the cause immediately struck a chord.

“I thought it was crazy—that’s a long way,” he said. “But obviously nothing like what Oli, his family and other families go through.”

For the guard, the issue carries extra weight as a father.

“When I first started talking to Trent, the first thing we talked about was having kids. We are very grateful for what we have and know that everyone is not in the same situation … we don’t take what we have for granted and want to help out as much as we can.”

Alongside brand-new pairs of Nike basketball shoes, Sobey has donated game-worn, signed footwear and jerseys—collectibles that will directly boost fundraising efforts for vital neuroblastoma research and support services.

His message to potential bidders and donors is simple: “Any bit counts. It all goes a very long way. So anyway possible it would be greatly appreciated.”
