Drop for Youth

Marlborough Girls' College —

Marlborough Girls’ College students are taking the plunge to raise funds to help future students. A total of 8 MGC students are amongst the 100 Marlburians tipped to take part in “Drop for Youth Marlborough 2022”.

Drop for Youth is a key fundraiser for local youth charity, Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough – one of the charity’s few fundraising events that is able to go ahead in the time of Covid. The fundraiser sees Marlburians plummet from 9,000 feet in a breathtaking skydive – with ‘Droppers’ asked to aim high and set a fundraising target of at least $1,000. All funds raised will support the work of the Graeme Dingle Foundation in transforming young lives within the Marlborough region – including Stars and Career Navigator at MGC!

Regional Manager for the Foundation, Kelvin Watt says he is “humbled and inspired” by the students resolve to help. “To see the students themselves get in behind the cause, feels like real validation. They themselves are standing up and saying that this matters to them. To those 8 amazing students – and everyone that supports them – we’d like to say a massive thank you!”
