🏆 2026 GOLD SPONSOR | TC NICHOLLS🏆

A huge thank you and warm welcome to TC Nicholls as one of Kaha Basketball Academy’s valued Gold Sponsors for 2026!

We are incredibly grateful for the support of businesses like yourself who believe in our athletes, our kaupapa and the opportunities we are creating for our young people. Your support helps Kaha continue to grow, develop and provide experiences that go far beyond the basketball court.

ABOUT TC NICHOLLS

TC Nicholls is a true family-owned and operated Marlborough business, with a proud history dating back to 1962, when Tony Nicholls first launched the company.

Today, TC Nicholls is a third-generation family business. Tony’s son Mark joined the firm in the late 1960s and took over management in the early 1980s, with his brother Dean later joining as an owner-operator. The family legacy has continued with Mark’s son Chris joining in the early 2000s, followed by Mark’s daughter Gina, who works in the office.

With a team of 25 staff, TC Nicholls has a workforce ranging from young people beginning their careers through to valued team members who have been with the business for more than 20 years truly becoming part of the TC Nicholls family.

We are proud to have the support of a business that values family, people, commitment and community values that align so strongly with what Kaha stands for.

From all of us at Kaha Basketball Academy ngā mihi nui, TC Nicholls

A great day at the stadium with some awesome young people from Marlborough —all things basketball! 🔥

A huge thank you to Elijah and Brodie for giving their time, sharing their knowledge, and showing the kids some awesome skills, drills and plenty of basketball

It was awesome seeing the kids getting stuck in, learning new skills and, most importantly, having fun!

GOLD SPONSORSHIP - ITM Blenheim ❤️🏀

Back for the 4th year, and another company that has been there with Kaha right from the very beginning.

A massive ngā mihi nui to ITM Blenheim for your continued support of Kaha Basketball Academy and our whānau. 🙌

ITM Blenheim is locally owned and operated, providing a huge range of building supplies, tools and more, but for us, your support goes far beyond business.

You have shown up.

You have come along to our events, supported our fundraisers, celebrated with us on our celebration nights and backed our boys every step of the way.

Those might seem like small things, but they do not go unnoticed.

It is the businesses and people who continue to turn up, support our kaupapa and stand behind our rangatahi that help make what we do possible. Your support has helped create opportunities, memories and experiences that our boys will carry with them long after they leave the court.

From the Kaha whānau — thank you. ❤️

We genuinely appreciate you, your generosity and your belief in what we are building.

4 years. Still standing with us. Still backing our boys.
That means a lot. 🖤🏀
