ACC knocks it out of the park with backyard cricket charity initiative

AUCKLAND, Today: The Alternative Commentary Collective (The ACC) has teamed up with Rebel Sport and Silver Fern Sport to bring backyard cricket to more Kiwis this summer through an exciting charity initiative.

The Pass It Forward programme will see custom backyard cricket sets sold at Rebel Sport stores. For every set sold, another will be donated to the Tania Dalton Foundation to distribute to schools and communities in need.

As the voice of unfiltered Kiwi cricket commentary, The ACC is deeply connected to New Zealand’s cricket culture. Silver Fern Sport, the country’s oldest sports equipment supplier, is covering the cost of these specially designed sets, crafted with summer fun and giving back in mind.

Mike Lane, General Manager of The ACC, is thrilled to combine sport with purpose. “Backyard cricket is a quintessential Kiwi summer game, and now when you purchase one of The ACC sets from Rebel Sport, you can be quietly chuffed in the knowledge that another set will be passed forward to a well-deserving family, school or local community.”

Rebel Sport’s Hamish MacKenzie shared his excitement. “Rebel Sport is committed to making sports kits accessible to as many Kiwis as possible. Partnering with The ACC and Silver Fern Sport for the Pass It Forward initiative helps us achieve that reach.”

In addition to the cricket sets, The ACC and Rebel Sport are offering other summer must-haves like balls, bats, training kits, and even the nostalgic gutter board game.

The ACC backyard cricket sets are available now online and in Rebel Sport stores nationwide.
