NSW Blues Superstars Deliver $125,000 Boost to Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter
NSW Blues Show Their Support, Donate $125,000 to Life-Saving Helicopter Service
The NSW Blues, both men and women, have once again demonstrated their commitment to the community, presenting a significant cheque for $125,000 to the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services in New South Wales. The generous donation is the culmination of the hugely successful 'Tries for Lives' campaign, which captivated audiences throughout the recent Ampol State of Origin series.
True Blues Olivia Kernick and Keeley Davis were present at the cheque presentation, representing the incredible efforts of the entire team and the passionate support of fans across the state. The 'Tries for Lives' campaign saw a portion of every try scored during the State of Origin matches donated to Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services, a vital organisation providing rapid response rescue services along the NSW coastline.
Why the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Matters
The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services plays a critical role in saving lives in NSW. Operating 24/7, these helicopters respond to emergencies along the coast, providing medical assistance and transportation to hospitals for patients in critical condition. From surfers caught in rip currents to hikers with injuries in remote areas, the helicopter crew are often the first responders, delivering crucial care in challenging circumstances.
'Tries for Lives' - A Winning Partnership
The 'Tries for Lives' campaign is a testament to the power of collaboration between sporting organisations and charitable causes. By leveraging the popularity of the State of Origin series, the campaign effectively raised awareness and significant funds for a deserving organisation. The success of this year’s campaign builds on previous years' efforts, solidifying the NSW Blues’ commitment to giving back to the community.
“We’re incredibly proud to be able to support the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services,” said Olivia Kernick. “They do amazing work, and it’s fantastic to see the community rally behind them. Knowing that every try scored contributed to this vital service makes the games even more meaningful.”
Keeley Davis added, “It’s a privilege to be involved in a campaign that makes such a tangible difference. The helicopter crew are true heroes, and we’re honoured to be able to contribute to their life-saving work.”
Looking Ahead
The NSW Blues’ ongoing support for the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services is a shining example of how sport can be a force for good. The 'Tries for Lives' campaign is expected to return next year, continuing to raise vital funds and awareness for this essential service.
