This week, AM reporter Aziz  and the Red Cross Communications Advisor Jess visited us for a sunrise jump from 20,000ft! They reached the fundraising target so came to take the leap live on the AM show. Well done to both of them! 

Aziz and Jess are the very first jumpers in our Jump in July! for Red Cross fundraising event. On 25th July we will welcome many more Red Cross New Zealand supporters who have reached the fundraising target and will jump out of our plane as their reward. 

There's still time to sign up and jump from a plane too. You only need to raise minimum $500. If you think you've got what it takes visit: https://www.skydiveauckland.com/skydive/skydive-for-charity.html

We are very excited to welcome New Zealand Red Cross to Skydive Auckland on Saturday 25th July! Raise money for vulnerable people, and mix in some insane adrenaline, and Jump! In July!

The funds raised helps New Zealand Red Cross to continue to do what it does best - do good in the community.

During the COVID-19 crisis, their Meals on Wheels and Migration services were deemed essential and continued to operate throughout lockdown. The Restoring Family Links service supported those who had been separated from their loved ones. And their disaster response volunteers have been on the forefront of the COVID-19 response, from delivering food and medication parcels to supporting evacuees from Wuhan in Whangaparaoa.

New Zealand Red Cross needs your support now more than ever, and what better way to raise money for New Zealand Red Cross than throw yourself 13,000ft out of a plane!?

So, what are you waiting for… cross skydiving off your bucket list, and Jump! In July!

Any questions get in touch Getfundraising@redcross.org.nz.

Will you take the plunge and skydive for animals in need? SPCA Jump To The Rescue are back and we cannot wait to see them on 1st August 2020!

Last year, SPCA alone raised $104,000 through their Jump To The Rescue event, which began at Skydive Auckland, and last year expanded to became a national campaign with a choice of five skydiving locations across the country. SPCA receives almost no government funding so relies on fundraising and donations from the community. The Skydive For Charity platform provides an incentive to fundraise, with the end result being vital funds raised for SPCA that helps animals that are sick, injured, abused or simply abandoned. Not only do friends and family spectate at this event, but dogs and rabbits have been known to come along to support too from the ground.

Lucie Fowler, SPCA’s Events and Community Fundraising manager says it is exciting Jump to the Rescue is able to go ahead this year. “We encourage any of you feeling like you truly need to ‘break out’ and shake off the shackles of lockdown, please join us.” You can sign up to join them at www.spca.nz/jump." "Our fundraising efforts have been disrupted due to COVID-19, but here’s an opportunity for adventurous New Zealanders to do something truly memorable, while helping our abused, unwanted and unloved animals at the same time.”

To Jump To the Rescue, all you need to do is raise $775 through your sponsorship page and then come and jump for FREE!

We decided to take our once in a lifetime experience of skydiving and combine it with insane views of Waiheke Island! On Sunday 22nd March, our Skydive Auckland crew headed over to Waiheke Island in Auckland for a day of jumping over the world renowned Gulf Island.

We love Mac! Our team saw an advert to rescue a local dog. Mac is a 13 year old farm dog whose family were moving to the city so he needed a new home and we came to the rescue. Our Skydive Auckland team could not be more excited about the addition to our family and he has settled in well. He loves roaming around our dropzone to see everyone and swimming in the swooping pond to cool down in the warm weather.

Our Blue September Breakfast was awesome and we managed to raise $200 for Prostate Cancer. Thanks to Parakai Springs and Te Awaroa Cafe and Bar for their support. The delicious food was baked by one of our team members and it went down very well. Blue September is an awareness campaign for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand. After all these cakes and pies we actually managed to do a lot of skydiving!

Thanks to all of our volunteers who came to 'Keep NZ Beautiful'! We picked up rubbish around the Parakai area as part of Clean Up Week. It's so important that we keep our local community clean and every little bit of effort helps. It's also Conservation Week and this year marks 50 years of Conservation Week which is run by DOC, to encourage people to take care of nature.
