Sandy Rogers NSW Community Hero 2025 recipient
A huge congratulations to Sandy Rogers from our Can Assist Tweed branch for being named NSW Community Hero in the 2025 Women of the Year Awards!
For decades, Sandy has given her time, energy, and heart to support those in need, ensuring country cancer patients aren’t alone in their fight. This recognition is so well deserved, and we couldn’t be prouder to have her as part of the Can Assist family.
Sandy Rogers has dedicated 40 years to improving the lives of children with intellectual and physical disabilities and their families.
In 1977, Sandy’s son was born with cerebral palsy and other major health issues. Sadly, Sandy lost her son when he was 10 years old. He taught her the meaning of unconditional love and was the inspiration for her commitment to helping others.
As Vice President of the Tweed Kids in Need charity, Sandy fundraises to support those needing essential equipment or treatment, ensuring their lives are made a little easier. Sandy recently founded the Tweed Branch of Can Assist, a charity providing financial support to cancer patients.
Thank you, Sandy, for everything you do.
