Holding a Fundraising Event
Holding a fundraising event for the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Service is both rewarding and challenging. We are extremely grateful for all community support received for the service.
How we can support you
When you are organising your event please let us know and we may be able to offer help and support. We are a small team but are willing to help where we can.
We are able to provide:
- Information on the service
- Collection buckets
- Banners
- Newsletters and brochures
- Logos and photos
If you wish to have a representative from the Rescue Helicopter Service present at your fundraiser please give us as much notice as possible so that we can make sure we are there.
Promotion and Media
Media coverage can be an extremely valuable way to help promote your event. Please let us know if you plan to contact the media about your event.
The local newspapers and radio stations are often willing to help support an event that is benefiting the rescue helicopter. If you contact them a month or so before the event they may look to include an article in their newspaper.
If you would like support with your media releases please call Louise Harvey, Trust Marketing and Fundraising Manager on (06) 878 1630 or email louise@hbhrt.org.nz.

Guidelines and Information
To help with your event please contact us for information on the Trust. We can provide promotional material and information.
As you can imagine we really value our brand so if you create any material with our name or logo please call or email for confirmation.
It is always much easier to get it right from the start and we are here to help. Plus we would love to hear the amazing work you are doing for the Trust. We greatly appreciate it!
Please note the correct wording for our organisation is either the Hawke's Bay Helicopter Rescue Trust or Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Service.
Post Event
After your event, we would really appreciate any editorials and photos, so that we are able to include your story in our publications.
