You may remember last year we ran a May/June fundraiser to raise money for a new tracking device for the Royal Albatross Centre in Dunedin and raised a whopping $12,365.40c! Well this year we have decided to help the local Wakatipu Search and Rescue volunteers.
For the whole month of June we will be offering extra swings (usually $39) in exchange for a minimum donation of $10 which will go toward the training and equipment needed for the Wakatipu Search and Rescue. The entire crew at Wakatipu Land SAR is made up of volunteers who drop sticks and run to help any time of day or night to help locals and tourists in a variety of situations. Thanks to these guys we can all go exploring the local mountains & surroundings, safe and secure.
Visit www.wakatipusar.co.nz for more information on their work. We’re hoping to raise as much money as we can to buy the equipment needed for the Bush and Avalanche Rescue dogs and the training of both dogs and handlers.
Throughout the fundraiser, the retail price of a swing booking remains at $179. Extra swings will be FREE OF CHARGE, but all we ask is that a minimum donation of $10 is made. As always extra swings are on a time available basis as we don’t want to rush anyone off the edge of the platform. Don’t worry, in usual Shotover Canyon Swing style, each customer will still be allowed the time they need on the platform to gather that courage and to consider if they are brave enough. As always, underpant reinforcement is available at site for those who need it. If you would like to make any additional donations to the cause, please let us know; additional collection buckets will be at Swing Site and our shop.
