Perrottet versus Fordham.
Two of NSW’s biggest and best-known personalities will go head-to-head, but this time it will be on the basketball court and for a good cause.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet and 2GB breakfast show and television personality Ben Fordham will captain opposing sides in a special Starlight Celebrity Game on April 24.
The game will raise funds for our Brydens Lawyers Sydney Kings charity partner, the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
This year the Celebrity Game is brought to you by The Ben Fordham Show on 2GB, Bing Lee and Chemist Warehouse.
The game will also feature special appearances by 2GB listeners as well as celebrities.
Other celebrities to be announced leading into the game to join Perrottet's or Fordham's teams.
It will be a part of our Purple Reign game day which will see the Qudos Bank Arena transformed into a sea of purple in support of the charity for a blockbuster clash between the Kings and arch rivals, the Illawarra Hawks.
The Starlight Celebrity game will be a part of the pre-game entertainment for the Kings v Hawks game, which tips off at 2.45 pm.
And we want you to join us in support of the day by making a pledge for EVERY three-pointer the Kings make on the day.
