Currently we are fundraising for the all-important RACQ CQ Rescue chopper.
A couple of weeks ago we received a call form a listener who told us of an amazing story how the CQ Rescue chopper saved her sons life after he contracted a disease.
The time in which it took the chopper to transport the family from Proserpine to Mackay was the difference between life and death.
It was a huge reminder as to how important it is to have the rescue chopper helping save lives in our region.
This is where the idea to put a calendar together to fundraise for the chopper was born.
Currently we are looking for businesses to donate an amount above $300 to feature in a month of the calendar.
The response we have had so far has been overwhelming with so many local businesses putting their hands up to take part and donate.
Our current donation tally is up to just over $7000 already.
Big shout out to BMS Strata Systems, Reef Marine, Daly Bay Coal Terminal, Mackay Mazda, Acubis Technologies, Mount Pleasant Post Office, Harvey Norman Bedding, McCarthy Panel Works, Whitsunday Prosocial Support Services, MADD Mechanical, and Nick Wynne-Jones Painting for coming on board with donations so far.
Once the calendars are complete they will be up for purchase with all proceeds going directly to RACQ CQ Rescue chopper, stay tuned.
