The South Tamworth Bowling Club recently donated $3,027.00 to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.
These funds will enable procurement of a cable conditioning weight system needed for the Service’s Tamworth operations base.
This important equipment is used for maintaining the rescue hoist cable – the condition of which is vital to mission success and safety.
On average, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service flies more than 1,500 missions a year, and community support goes directly towards ensuring it is ready to respond as swiftly as possible around the clock every day to critically ill and injured community members.
Jeff Galbraith, Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service’s event coordinator for the New England North West region, said: “South Tamworth Bowling Club has been a long-term supporter as a member of Club 139 and through involvement in local fundraising events. This grant is another fantastic example of the support we receive from our community, ensuring the service is ready to help those in need, and we can’t say thank you enough.”
