What a result from the Paxton Ride!

This year marked the 20th Paxton Ride and their 8th year fundraising for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

Eight years ago, they started with a goal of around $1,000.
This year, they set themselves a huge target - $100,000.
The ride finished just short of the goal, so the call went out to the Paxton community. People chipped in and helped push them over the line.

And it’s not just the community that makes this event so special. The incredible sponsors who donate, provide auction and raffle prizes and support the ride year after year are a huge part of its success.

And now, after eight years of fundraising, the Paxton Ride has raised an incredible $343,373 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service!

This type of support helps the Service to continue to invest in facilities, training, equipment, people and new technologies, helping to ensure our sustainability, growth and standards of excellence.

A massive thank you to the organisers, riders, volunteers, sponsors and everyone who has supported the Paxton Ride along the way.

We’re so grateful for your incredible support.
