Their duties on the field are well and truly over, but Sam Wright and Ayden Kennedy have certainly been kept busy off it. At the last LeasePlan Carn the Kids event for the season during North Melbourne's clash against the Lions, the pair helped entertain almost 300 kids from the Royal Children’s Hospital, Camp Quality, Mirabel, MacKillop, Variety and the CREATE Foundation.

LeasePlan and North Melbourne teamed up for four matches this year, offering those who mightn't otherwise get the opportunity to experience the sights, smells and sounds of a live match the chance to enjoy a day at the footy.

Young gun Wright and up-and-comer Kennedy made a special appearance at the Carn the Kids marquee on the weekend alongside mascot Wheelie.

The kids enjoyed the chance to meet the footballers, who were only too happy to pose for photos and sign autographs.

The fun didn't end there though. Taking their seats inside Etihad Stadium, the children enjoyed hot pies, drinks and chips and cheered the Roos to victory.

LeasePlan's Carn the Kids has been providing fun day's like this since 2003. This year Jack Ziebell is North Melbourne’s official Carn the Kids Ambassador.
