And the Black Cats hope to raise money this weekend by wearing a 'For Bradley' shirt to honour the passionate Sunderland fan.
All money raised will go towards the Bradley Lowery foundation where donations will help build a holiday home for sick children and their families according to the Newcastle Chronicle.
Speaking of the initiative Bradley's mum, Gemma Lowery said: "One of our favourite memories is taking Bradley on holiday to Scarborough.
"We are absolutely thrilled that Sunderland AFC suggested that we could create similar memories for other families.

“Since Bradley’s sad passing in July we have worked tirelessly to ensure a positive legacy will come from his personal fight and I’m sure Bradley will be watching over everyone and be very proud that his legacy will now help others."
The home shirt goes on sale at 9am on Saturday, November 18 before Sunderland's home clash with Millwall.
Club captain John O'Shea said: "Bradley became firm friends with staff and players alike, leading the team out on a number of occasions. He made a huge impact on our club and the wider football community.
“Everyone at the club is honoured to be able to give our continued support to the Lowery family and the charity.”
