On Thursday, 7th August 2025, we had the privilege of planning and delivering the fifth annual Westpac Chopper Gala – A Night Out To Save Lives.
This incredible event, dedicated to raising vital funds, ensures the Canterbury Westpac Chopper remains in the skies, ready to save lives at a moment’s notice. We are thrilled to share that this year’s gala raised over $200,000.
Guests were immersed in a night of exceptional local entertainment, feasting on the finest locally sourced produce, paired with a handpicked selection of award-winning regional wines, beers, and spirits. It was an unforgettable evening, made possible by the remarkable generosity and dedication of our sponsors and partners. Together, we made a real difference!
