Gold Coast Knights F.C.
Members of the Gold Coast Knights first team and backroom staff visited the Gold Coast University Hospital - GCUH on Tuesday evening.
Upon arrival at the hospital the Knights players and staff were greeted by Joe Hanlon from the Gold Coast Hospital Foundationand doctor Peter Schmidt.
Before the start of our maiden Football Queensland National Premier League season, President Adrian Simun Puljich & CEO Adem Poric made the decision that all Gold Coast Knights FC Senior games held at the Gold Coast Croatian Sports Centre Inc. would be entry by Gold Coin Donation and the proceeds to be handed over to the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation.
Gold Coast Knights FC would like to thank every single person who has attended senior games at the Croatian Sports Centre so far this season and are extremely happy to announce that $2,500 has been raised and that the Gold Coast Knights FC, will match that amount to take the total funds raised to $5,000 for the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation.
During the visit, players and staff met with families and children who are currently spending time at the hospital for various reasons. You could not wipe the smile from the faces of the children and family members as they received Knights merchandise.
Everyone at the Gold Coast Knights Football Club, would like to thank Doctor Peter Schmidt for the tour, the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, nurses and all staff for their continuous hard work to look after all patients at the hospital.
To all the families and patients that the players and staff got to meet last night, as well as the families that we unfortunately couldn’t spend time with, we wish you all the very best and a speedy recovery.

We received a beautiful message this afternoon from the father of James Sharpe, one of the beautiful little boys that everyone met last night.
Hello
Last night players from the Gold Coast Knights visited Radio Lollipops at the GC University Hospital. Players gave James a ball and a shirt. James has been in hospital now for quite some time and the visit by the players brightened his night. Today James tried the shirt on and kicked the ball around. We really appreciate the effort the players and staff from GC Knights took in visiting the hospital last night. Visits to the hospital like this really do put a smile on children’s faces. Thank you and kind regards. Roger Sharpe. ... See more
