Coach McKean Charity Slam
Join us for an exciting game that supports a great cause – the Coach McKean Fund! This event is dedicated to raising both awareness and vital funds for the fund, which honors Coach McKean’s incredible impact on sports throughout Taranaki. His legacy continues to inspire young athletes in the region, and your participation will help ensure that legacy lives on for years to come.
We’re thrilled to have some incredible former athletes join us for the game, including sporting legends, Conrad Smith and Dillon Boucher. Both former athletes will be captaining teams featuring a host of ex-athletes and notable Taranaki figures. It’s a unique opportunity to watch these legends in action, all while supporting a meaningful cause!
The game will be held at the Bell Block community hall, where we’ve recently installed two brand new backboards – a fantastic way to also celebrate the local community and the growing popularity of basketball in Taranaki. Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of something special while supporting a great cause!
Adult tickets have been set at $10 and children's tickets at $5. All proceeds raised will be donated to the fund.
We are also very fortunate to have a bunch of Corey Webster's old basketball gear, including signed singlets and shoes, that he would like to donate to the trust. You'll be able to find these products as you make your way through the form (add-on products). Please not that there is only one item for each piece of gear listed. Once purchased, it's gone!
Doors open: 2pm.
