Support Kennards for Kids as you prep for an NRL Finals party

October is almost here, and that means it's nearly time for the National Rugby League Grand Finals.

In a few weeks the NRL's top contenders will duke it out for the coveted championship title.

Tickets for the October 6 Grand Final game are long sold out, but if you didn't get yours in time, don't worry. This just gives you all the more reason to throw a game-watching party however you see fit, whether that means pizza on the couch, the grill going out back or a large family get together.

But if this is your plan, you'll want to start gearing up for it now. Before you have guests over, you may want to take the party as an opportunity to spruce your place up a bit. If it's a barbecue you want, then take a look in your backyard and see if any improvements are needed.

How does your fence look? Has it been ages since you've stained it? With the right tools, you can get your backyard fence looking as good as new without the cost of replacing it. You'll just need a pressure cleaner, sander, the right stain and a few free days between now and the big game.

Or maybe all you need to do is replace that old lighting fixture in your bathroom to give it a brand new look. With the electri tool, this can be a simple afternoon project that can make a big difference.

Improve your home, build your community

When you're deciding what improvements you may want before the party, keep Kennards Hire in mind for all your equipment needs. Not only will you find the best and most trusted home improvement tools, you'll also make a big difference to a child in need.

Throughout September and October, the company's Kennards for Kids program will see that $2 from every piece of equipment that is hired will go to a local charity that focuses on improving the lives of sick, injured or disadvantaged children all over Australia.

In the 2012 Kennards for Kids campaign, the family-run company raised more than $250,000, showing Kennards Hire's commitment to improving the future of Australia through its younger generations.
