Within the framework of the Doernbecher Freestyle program, extending an invitation for young patients to collaborate with Nike designers, Sydney has fashioned a walking masterpiece adorned with her hand-drawn artwork on interchangeable patches, allowing customization of the heel. Sydney aspires for her vibrant shoe to be a source of brightness in your day, coupled with a piece of valuable advice for those grappling with challenges: “Keep swimming. You’ll get through it.” Since its initiation in 2004, Nike’s Doernbecher Freestyle Program has generated nearly $37 million in support of OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. This unique partnership empowers young patients to engage with Nike designers, facilitating the creation of their own collections featuring Nike and Jordan Brand sneakers, apparel, and accessories. These exclusive collections, brimming with individuality, are subsequently auctioned at the program’s annual fundraiser, with every single penny directed towards benefiting the children’s hospital.
