We are overwhelmed with gratitude for reaching Philip’s $5,000 fundraising goal, something we weren't even sure was possible.
Thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged this GoFundMe campaign - we couldn't have done it without you.
Every contribution, from words of encouragement to bottle redemptions (10 cents all
add up), has made a difference to the huge financial commitment that is Basketball and is deeply appreciated by Philip and our family.
This outpouring of support for Philip is truly humbling, and we are so grateful to each and every one of you.

Hi, My name is Philip Wickham I am 16 years old working hard to achieve my dream of becoming a professional basketball player.
I aspire to one day play for Australia, play in US at College and play professionally i.e. NBL & NBA.
I have three exciting international tours lined up this year. Firstly, I will be heading to the USA for the AAU tour with Hoop City in July. Then, in October, I am looking forward to participating in the Hoop Nation Tournament in New Zealand. Lastly, in December I am back to USA on tour with Basketball VIC State Development Program.
These opportunities will help me improve my skills and gain valuable experience playing against top competition from around the world, bringing me closer to my goal.
With a heavy basketball Schedule across Big V Youth League One Mens (Under 23s), VJBL Under 18s and Sharks Basketball including games and training 7 days a week, whilst keeping up with my Year 11 High School time to take on a part time job is very limited so this fundraising is a huge help to me and my family. Please know I will pay forward your kindness for other aspiring sports athletes as I achieve my goals too.
Your support to my Go Fund Me is a massive boost to me and hugely appreciated. Thank you for your donation and your belief in me to succeed.
