🐮 Thankful Thursday 🚁

CapRescue extends sincere thanks to the Woodard family from Bonox Brangus for their generous support through the 2026 BLING Sale.

A special Red Brangus female, fittingly named Charity, was offered with 100 per cent of the sale proceeds donated to CapRescue. The sale attracted strong interest and helped raise an incredible $15,395 for the service.

Thank you to Bonox Brangus, everyone who bid on Charity, and all those who promoted the sale. Support from the rural community plays an important role in helping Rescue300 remain ready to respond across Central Queensland. 🙏🏻

⚓ Gladstone Shire Appeal 🚁

In 2025, Rescue300 supported local families, workers and visitors throughout the Gladstone region. Donations to the annual appeal help ensure Rescue300 remains ready to respond and that help is on its way.

Congratulations to Central Queensland Today , one of CapRescue’s valued media partners, on their recognition at the recent Queensland Country Press Association Awards.

Well done to the entire CQ Today team on the recognition, and thank you for continuing to shine a light on the people and stories of the region. Check out the original post below 👇

🙏🏻 Thankful Thursday 🚁

A few Queenslanders might be feeling a little flat after last night’s Origin result… but here’s a chance to turn things around. 👀

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers has generously donated an incredible live auction item for this year’s 30th Anniversary CapRescue Ball presented by QMAG — a Cowboys corporate box experience for 10 at QCB Stadium, valued at more than $4,000.

Best of all, every bid helps support CapRescue’s lifesaving service across Central Queensland.

Don’t forget — you’ll need to be at the ball to bid on this one. 🎫

A big thank you to Maurice Blackburn Lawyers for getting behind CapRescue and helping make this year’s auction something special.

⛏️ Central Highlands Appeal 🚁

In 2025, the Central Highlands was CapRescue’s busiest shire. This year alone, the crew have already conducted 60 rescues throughout the region. Donations to the annual appeal ensure Rescue300 remains ready to respond and that help is on its way.

🚁 From Patient to Supporter 📸

Earlier this year, Kaitlyn experienced firsthand what it means when help is on its way.

Following a sudden medical emergency, she later gave back to CapRescue through a community fundraiser that brought together local photographers, businesses, friends and families in support of the service.

Read her story below. ❤️

The Storm and Me

What began as a sudden medical emergency in Yeppoon quickly became critical as her condition deteriorated. A Red Blanket response was activated and CapRescue was tasked by Queensland Health, bringing specialist emergency care directly to her side.
