We are excited to celebrate our 37th birthday this year on the 15th of November – operating Northland’s Rescue Helicopters since 1988!
We’re inviting Northland businesses, schools, and community groups to join us for our Birthday Week by hosting a mini fundraiser. Every dollar raised helps keep the Northland Rescue Helicopters flying when our community needs them most.

There are four themes to choose from:

  • Cupcakes for Choppers: Bake a cupcake – save a life!
  • Sizzle for the skies: Get on the grill – every sausage counts!
  • Morning Tea for a Mission: Have a cuppa for a chopper!
  • Raffle for Rescue: Every Ticket Helps Us Lift Off!

An option for hospitality businesses could be to donate a % of sales or $1 from every sale over a specific time (e.g. $1 from every coffee sale from 10am-11am on Saturday the 15th of November)

We will provide the following to assist with your fundraiser:

  • Digital media package including posters & social media tiles (for each theme)
  • Donation box/bucket with a QR code (key locations will be arranged in areas around Northland for you to pick this up from)
  • Digital Fujifilm frame (after the fundraiser)

*Raise over $250 and go in the draw to win a polaroid gift pack sponsored by Fujifilm as well as a special NEST merchandise pack!
