In March Craigs Investment Partners (Craigs) are again  having a company-wide fundraiser to raise funds for New Zealand’s regional rescue helicopters. 2020 saw this challenge cut short due to the COVID-19 lockdown so this year let’s make it bigger and better, and reinforced with the great news that this year Craigs Managing Director Frank Aldridge has generously agreed that Craigs will support this challenge by matching the first $10,000 raised for the various Helicopter Trusts. 

Clients, colleagues, friends and family can donate towards this fundraiser and all money raised will be donated to the regional rescue helicopters throughout New Zealand – donating is easy and receipts can be received.

Regional rescue helicopters provide a vital safety net for all people who require urgent medical, or search and rescue support.  In a life and death situation, every minute counts, and helicopter rescue – especially in rural or remote locations – is often the patient’s best chance for survival.

For this fundraiser teams or individuals can run, walk, cycle or complete any form of exercise, to make up a total of 50kms per day!  Some people may choose to do this individually or make up teams who add together their kilometres each day to make up to 50kms.
