THE HOSE DOWN
AUGUST 2026

The Monthly Wrap-Up


From a hotly contested World Cup sweepstakes competition to the reveal of our 2026-2027 charity poll results, there’s plenty going on in the August edition of The Hose Down. 

World Cup Sweepstakes Winner 

The FIFA World Cup is done and dusted. It was a brilliant tournament capped off with a gripping final between Spain and Argentina, but more importantly, it was a battle of the Rods. Rod from Head Office (Spain) took on Rodwell from Adelaide (Argentina) to become our sweepstakes champion. Well, you know how this story ends. Enjoy the crown for the next four years, Rod.

Our 2026-2027 Financial Year Charity Poll Results 

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that one of the things our team gets most excited about is the opportunity to vote for the three charities we’ll be supporting throughout the next 12 months. Without further ado, here are the causes we’ve chosen for the 26-27 financial year: 

  • Movember – An organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health by funding vital research and support programs for mental health, as well as prostate and testicular cancer
  • Cancer Council – Australia’s leading cancer charity, and the only organisation that works across every area of all cancers, from research to prevention and support 
  • Head Space – A charity that provides early intervention mental health services and support for young people aged 12 to 25
