Event description

Westpac, in conjunction with the Aerocool Rescue Helicopter, are proud to be hosting the Chopper Gala and Charity Auction on Friday 22 August 2025. This Gala Event is raising much needed funds for our local Rescue Helicopter, with all funds raised donated to the Aerocool Rescue Helicopter.

Every time the crew takes flight, they are equipped to save lives, often being the only option for patients in critical need. Your contribution helps ensure the helicopter can operate as a flying Intensive Care Unit, reaching those who need urgent care. Together, we can make a life-saving impact! We look forward to your support in making this event a success and ensuring our local Aerocool Rescue Helicopter continues to save lives when every second counts.

We are delighted to have you join us at this year’s event.
