Make a difference

Feel proud that the money you’ve raised will help KidsCan provide food, shoes, jackets, and essential support for children living in poverty across New Zealand.

How to DAD (Jordan)

"So many kids are doing it tough, heading off to school without food, as a father, imagining those were your kids, it almost brings you to tears. To have the chance to make real change with KidsCanBall, it means everything. Being able to change just one kid’s life means everything. With NZ’s help KidsCanBall can potentially help thousands of kids in need, that feeling is beyond words."

"I’d love to say I’ve been training for the past 12 months... but I haven’t. In fact, I feel less prepared than ever. But we recently visited a school and saw first-hand where your donations go - warm jackets for kids who really need them, nutritious food, shoes and socks, and essential health and hygiene items. It’s worth every minute (and every sore muscle)."

Ben

“As a parent, it breaks my heart to think of kids in New Zealand going hungry at school or without something like a warm jacket over winter. So playing handball for 24 hours and raising nearly half a million dollars to help Kiwi kids was honestly one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever been part of. Hopefully it makes up for all the questionable comedy we’ve done over the years! I haven’t touched a handball since… but when the chance came up to rally the country and help even more kids, we knew we had to come out of handball retirement."

Megan

“I'm so proud to be joining the handball team this year, I don't know if I will be bringing much to the team competitively, but I do know how much this is needed in NZ. We were lucky enough to give out jackets to some children from last year's donations, and it was so special. You don't often get to see where the donations go, or the result of the hard work, and I can say KidsCan makes a huge difference. Hopefully we can go bigger and better this year!"
