The Illawarra Hawks, Wollongong Roller Hawks and KidsWish are proud to announce the second annual KidsWish Charity Match event: 

Date: Sunday 18 August 2024 

Venue: Snakepit Basketball Stadium, Gwynneville 

Time: 10am-1pm 

GET TICKETS NOW

We are giving all the Hawks, Roller Hawks and KidsWish members an early heads-up that tickets are now on sale before they are released to the general public on Monday 5 August.

This is a fantastic event that showcases the incredible sport of wheelchair basketball where we get to see players from the Illawarra Hawks try to fit their tall lanky frames into a wheelchair and take on the Roller Hawks at their own game. 

It offers the chance to get up close and personal with the players, along with lots of fun basketball activities and a chance to have a spin in a wheelchair to test your skills.  

More details about what to expect on the day can be found here

We are extremely excited to partner together to bring these incredible wheelchair basketball exhibition matches to our community with all funds raised on the day supporting KidsWish’s mission of fulfilling the lives of children with disability or illness and their families through supportive programs, special events and community projects.

Last year’s inaugural event was a sell-out, and we are expecting tickets to sell quickly this time around so get in fast to make sure you don’t miss out.
