This October, The Hits is teaming up with KidsCan once again to bring you the ultimate handball showdown — KidsCanBall. 

Last year, our handball heroes Jono, Ben & Megan and Jordan Watson (How to Dad) went all in for a wild 24-hour handball-a-thon, raising a jaw-dropping $474,000 to help Kiwi kids

This year, we’re dreaming even bigger aiming to raise enough to support 10,000 children with the essentials they need to thrive at school: nutritious food, warm jackets, and sturdy shoes.

30th – 31st October

Eden Park, Auckland

  • $50 provides a fleece lined jacket and sturdy shoes and socks
  • $100 provides food items for breakfast
