The BackChat Streamathon
Three hosts, one studio and a bet about kangaroo meat. BackChat went live for kids’ sport and its community showed up.
$50,747
The goal was $50,000.
The BackChat community delivered.
Will Schofield, Dan Const and Hamish Brayshaw had a plan: go live for 24 hours to help kids into community sport. Take an hour off for every kilogram of kangaroo meat Hamish could eat.
The guests had opinions. Hamish had a long day ahead.
“That’s extraordinary.” Kane hears the plan.

A junior game. A first team. A story that still gets told years later. Back a Kid was about giving more children those moments, with TeamSports4All helping families cover registration, uniforms and equipment.
