WESTPAC HELICOPTER FUNDRAISING GALA

Anna North —

Massey High School would like to say a big thank you to so, so many people for the success of tonight’s gala…

We are still adding up the various pockets of fundraising money, but we are pretty confident we have reached our goal of raising $10K. That funds two Rescue Helicopter missions – potentially missions where lives will be saved.

With the families’ blessings we are dedicating two missions in memory of Sosi and Mitch.

We couldn’t have done this without the support of so many people. A big thank you to…

Our student army who volunteered to be help out on the night, you are always the school’s strongest asset and you were amazing.

Every member of staff who assisted in whatever way you could. We appreciate all of your efforts, it would not have been the successful evening that it was without you. We also acknowledge the former members of staff who also helped in whatever way they could. Thank you.
