Every dollar counts

It’s only with the support of the businesses and individuals in our community, that we are able to keep our Rescue Helicopter available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and completely free of charge to everyone who needs our help. Across Hawke’s Bay, hundreds of people are helping to ensure that our Rescue Helicopter remains operational. Here’s how you can help.

Make a Donation

Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes a difference.

Just as every minute counts in a life or death situation, every dollar counts when it comes to delivering our rescue services. Our crew need to raise approximately $1.4 million every year to keep flying and to keep our service completely free of charge to everyone in Hawke’s Bay, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whatever you’re able to contribute, it will make a real and lasting difference to the people of our region.
