BACK
A KID.

The BackChat Streamathon

Three hosts, one studio and a bet about kangaroo meat. BackChat went live for kids’ sport and its community showed up.

24 HOURS LIVE.
UNLESS HAMISH
EATS THE
KANGAROO.

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.

THE GUESTS
KEPT COMING.

Oleg Markov dialled in mid tyre-change. Mitch McGovern had a story to tell. Jack Buckley weighed in on a medal bearing his own name. The day kept finding another reason to keep watching.

ALL FOR
KIDS’ SPORT.

Everyone remembers where it started.

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.

And when the donations came in…

“The greatest thing we have ever achieved as a business.”

The network got behind it.

Shelter FootyCast and Freo Fan Fridays brought the fundraiser to their YouTube audiences too. Settle in for the full episodes.
