Westpac Chopper Street Appeal 2023
Calling all volunteers!
On May 4th, our community came together and made the Westpac Chopper Street Appeal a huge success! Whether you helped coordinate, contributed an hour of your time, or dropped a coin in one of our buckets, you made a real difference in the lives who need it most. Your support keeps us in the sky, providing life-saving services across the greater Wellington region. Every dollar raised has gone directly towards funding our vital Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
We would love to have you on the team for next year’s appeal. If you’re curious, as a chopper appeal collector, you will:
- Engage with your local community. You might hear heartwarming stories of “when they flew my dad” or “that time they landed on my street”.
- Help raise awareness of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter throughout Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Wairarapa, and Marlborough.
- Raise much-needed funds to keep the crews flying. Last year over $30,000 was raised – help us surpass that next year!
If you are interested in becoming part next year’s team, click the link below and we will reach out with future opportunities.
We appreciate your support and hope to see you next year!
